Remember the WWI song "They're all out of step but Johnny?"

Perhaps all of us need intensive therapy except Donovan.

Keely,

Dan Carsacallen, attacked me three times, and called me a pig. There is only so much crap I take until I fire back. Perhaps if you condemned his attacks I would not have needed to respond. Apparently to you, if some you like attacks another person's character they are justified, but if they respond, it is thunder out of blue sky attack on them. Not surprising you take such an approach considering how blind you are.

  I don't always agree with Dan, but he doesn't deserve this.

  "I took issue with what would be increased traffic right next door to me. 
  It was a valid concern, as traffic has increased."--Dan Carscallen

  Dan,

  So your original complaint to the City is NOW not all the disabled 
  children getting access to a daycare, but the TRAFFIC of 15 kids being 
  picked up and dropped off? So much a complaint that you went down to the 
  BOA meeting to launch a complaint with another neighbor about it and tried 
  to stop it, (even prepared a speech) not caring about weather the disabled 
  children had another location available to them. Too many disabled kids 
  doubling your traffic "RUSH 1 minute" as you say, Dan?

  Yet you are barking at me for complaining about having to turn my 1.5 
  mile trips to 3 mile trips, which nearly doubles my gas bill which is hard 
  on a guy living below the poverty line? How ironic Dan. The world does 
  really revolve around you.

  Look Dan, here comes another political horse, better get on it because 
  another election is coming soon. If you lose AGAIN, get together with Wayne 
  Fox and WHINE about it being a big government conspiracy that rigged the 
  ballots by not lining up the butterfly ballots to the right name, I will 
  even throw in a new box of color crayons so Wayne can write his conspiracy 
  on paper with as much life and color as his emails.

  Your Favorite Pig,

  Arnold

  I'm not sure I want to go down this road, because when you wrestle with
  a pig, you both just get dirty, and it just makes the pig happy, but
  let's get a few things straight so the Vizzz peeps know what went down:

  1) It wasn't the City Council, it was the Board of Adjustment.

  2)I had no issue with property values, I took issue with what would be
  increased traffic right next door to me. It was a valid concern, as
  traffic has increased. The house was being rented by a decent bunch of
  college students at the time (finally!), but now there are several
  people making several trips a day, and employees not exactly following
  the parking conditions. Pretty minor, but I can live with it.

  3) After they CUP was granted, I figured "fine, I'll live with it." I
  had my say, and the Board of Adjustment went the other way. I was a
  little disappointed at what I saw as some "sore winners" cheering the
  decision. Not exactly cool, in my opinion. But no matter, I was going
  to live with it.

  4) Since the CUP was issued to make a daycare out of the house, the
  renters got kicked out. We thought that was okay, since we wouldn't
  have to listen to any more parties late at night. Then we found out we
  were wrong. Somehow, in a blatant violation of the CUP, there were all
  the sudden four new renters in that house, raising hell and wreaking
  havoc on the toys and such that are there for the kids. It seemed VERY
  inappropriate for 4 college age renters to be living in a house that was
  being used as a daycare. I brought this up with the Community
  Development dept, but they were completely bogged down with every other
  complaint in town. I thank them, though, for at least acknowledging my
  concerns. The renters were supposed to be out in January, but they did
  not leave until school let out. Again, I lived with it.

  5) Now, it seems that ownership of the house has changed hands, and
  things seem to be settling into a groove. Traffic is still more than
  I'd like, but tolerable, and some of the parking conditions are still
  not being met, but we'll hash all that out when they go in for the
  renewal of their CUP.

  Sorry for being long-winded, but I just couldn't let this go without
  defending myself to some extent. Besides, I did wrestle in high school,
  so I think I can take a pig. Of course, none of this is near as
  dramatic and inflammatory as saying "Dan Carscallen hates the disabled".

  By the way, I think I'm going to take my chances and walk downtown to
  the farmer's market this weekend,

  DC

  P.S. Donovan, I'm not referring to you as a pig. I'm using what is
  called a colloquialism. Or maybe it's a metaphor. I'll have to look it
  up.
