Just one quick bitch, part two

I hate indecision.

MEH.
Limbo is worse.

We are still waiting for anything SOLID, on paper, in writing pertaining to this impending upset we are forced to endure.
 


Limbo suxxxors!

[Pyraxis]

Yes. Yes it does. I hope they get their shit together soon.

Across the street the other direction is a mom and young teen who lost their husband/father/breadwinner a few years back. It was set up by Habitat For Humanity for this family. They are not bad off. She is managing, but while she was planning to "get things done" and improve their situation, all this Eminent Domain crap came up.

We had barely met a while back, when I offered her kid some of my old photography props, every kind of ball there is (real NBA, MLB and NFL balls I used to use as photo props) and the kid said, "Nah, I have lots of balls." His mom and I shared a glanced, both almost bursting out laughing and that early identification between us has not gone away after several years. We just accelerated getting to know each other at that moment, it seems.

I know they are in the same limbo boat that we are in. Nothing we can do.

I feel like I have done everything short of spreading my cheeks to accommodate the ones who are supposedly in my corner as independent agents (hired by the city?) and yet, still no FIRM confirmation of any damn thing at all.

I DO understand that those "Independent Agents"  pretending to be on my side are only there to manage or possibly prevent lawsuits from those tragically inconvenienced folk whose rights the city has chosen to disregard. They are here to help to guide us to resolution that does not include litanies of avoidable lawsuits.

PAYING is their plan.
But, how to you pay for taking away my natural, native indigenous to Indiana, home grown natural plant birdblind that I cultivated for twenty years, raised my kids inside it, encouraging them to enjoy birds. HOW!??!!?

The meeting of the city council only affirmed a time line of the prospective projects (of which, tearing down our house was simply spoken over as if they were stamping out insects) which means that we can not even expect an offer before fall.

Only pic I found that shows the birdblind I have grown for twenty years was from this late April just before daybreak after some snow. The entrance has some random shite in view like the wheel barrow and garbage can. I was "trimming" when the weather turned.
But I have cultivated this huge shrub into my birdblind over a long period of time. EFFORT not wasted, believe me. It is awesome inside when the birds forget you are watching.

[Pyraxis]

That looks like a fantastic place to explore.

  at organizations that treat individual lives as bugs to squash.

Beautiful. I have areas like that on top of my hillside. Not cultivated, more like neglected. I used to trim back quit a bit, like my mother did...then didn't get to it one year...and more animals moved in...so opted for the less work, more critters option.

How can you be so sure?

Statewide lockdown again. The first since mid last year.

[DirtDawg]

I was reviving an old Win7 computer I use for stuff in my garage shop. Completely formatted and reset the drive, using the factory image I set up on a partition when it was new. Done this several times already.

One isssue that is common when upgrading the original install to Win10 is that the ancient onboard sound is not compatible with Win10. I forgot about this. SO now I will not have sound until I can find and DL the proper compatible driver or dig out one of my sound cards and go that route.

Not too big of a deal, except that I have PACKED UP everything extra I have set aside for computerty already.
Grrrrr!

Telemarketer calling from local numbers

Yeah, that's an old trick.  I get a lot from a local number related to my cell phone number.  I just let it go to voice mail.

I use my cell phone for my business so I always try and answer local numbers in case its a customer
