HAPPY THANKSGIVING ….. TO EVERYONE!

So, while “we” happen to be on the subject of turkeys, and other such foul things (lol) …… at least there is a spin-off bright side to the years of madness –

EQUAL CONSIDERATION FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE TREASON EQUATION

My best to you and yours, Lew

PS: My response to the anticipated….”see! he used the word killing, he’s so dangerous…..blah blah blah” lol

Too bad these trembling little cowards apparently can’t read for comprehension either.

I recall many tunes/songs (in the past Free America) with such references to being killed by something figuratively many times. Often reflecting the feelings of heartbreak from a failed romantic interest. Maybe “bad memories are killing someone’s happiness for the future”, etc.,? Though a different context, do you recall the lyrics (and song title)

“….killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song……”

I always appreciated the song when occasionally heard (not part of my own collection) but those specific four words “killing me softly with”, at which time I would insert my own lyrics to finish the concept of being killed “softly” by reoccurring painful emotions. The words were haunting and stuck with me rather like laser focused for me personally during an extremely difficult time.

A soft killing. Hummm. Could be physical or emotional. The later being some type of horrible emotional pain that is never left alone to heal properly. Patiently dormant until stimulated in some way. Doesn’t completely destroy you. Never does. No release like in seriously finishing you off permanently, though sometimes you might wish it could and/or would – do just that. Perhaps some sort of divine heavenly sent bolt of mercy to stop that slow, methodical, degradation of the happiness in life? Ahhhh turkey squirt! This is depressing and I digress. Or did I?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here’s a link to that song video by the Fugees “Killing Me Softly With His Song”

and by a “wellness check & search” no less.

Absolutely unreal.

My best to you and yours, Lew

PS: I know, I know….realized too late it’s difficult reading along. Actually, the DIM LAME was a completely different project reconfigured last night/this morning into this scrolling blah blah blah rehashing of …whatever, so, for ease in comprehension of that blah blah blah:

DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC NOW

MUST BE LIKE WORKING IN A ZOO (lol)

MANY LANGUAGES, CULTURES, BELIEFS, ETC

HOW DOES LAW ENFORCEMENT KNOW WHAT TO DO?

.

SURELY THROUGH EXPERIENCE

MAYBE SOME SPECIALIZED IN-HOUSE TRAINING

PERHAPS A FEW “AWAY TRIP” CLASSES/SCHOOLS

TO PREPARE FOR THE COMMUNITY SHAPING

.

YET THERE’S A LONG DOCUMENTED HISTORY

OF WELLNESS CHECK/SEARCHES AND CLEAR ABUSE

(IT’S THE EVIL TWIN OF SINCERE COMMUNITY CARE)

AND DESTROYS THE INTENDED ETHICAL/MORAL USE

.

A MALICIOUS/FALSE REQUEST FOR A WELLNESS CHECK

SHOULD ALWAYS APPEAR BASED ON SINCERE CONCERN

PERHAPS MIGHT EXPRESS LEGITIMATE FEAR OR ANXIETY

PROMPTING LAW ENFORCEMENT TO FOLLOW-UP AND LEARN

.

WHAT EXACTLY WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES AT TIME?

DOES THE SITUATION QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENCY?

WERE PREVIOUS CALLS MADE TO PERSON NOT ANSWERED?

WAS THE REQUEST FOR A CHECK MADE WITH ANONYMITY?

.

FROM AN INITIAL EMAIL AND HEART FELT “THANK YOU”

TO OVER A MONTH OF OUTRAGEOUS FRUSTRATION

NO HONEST EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IN MY HOME

AND NOT A WORD REGARDING (ANY?) INVESTIGATION

.

LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS CITIZEN SUPPORT

AND CITIZENS NEED SUPPORT FROM THE POLICE

STILL CAN’T MAKE SENSE OF THAT OCTOBER 4^th EVENT

WHILE THOSE RESPONSIBLE ONLY LAUGH-BACK WITH EASE

.

WAS IT AN INTENTIONAL ABUSE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT?

OR A MISUSE BY REQUESTING AGENCY OR CITIZEN?

WAS IT AN ACCIDENT SIMPLY DUE TO NEGLIGENCE?

OR ONE OF THOSE “ILLEGAL EXPLORATORY SEARCHES” THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUGHT/FOILED AGAIN?

.

HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING

STILL FIGURING OUT JUST WHAT TO DO

SO MANY VARIABLES TO CONSIDER

BUT MY BEST TO YOU AND YOURS, LEW

Found this (the below LDPCSD Board Meeting repeated request)

Thought it something rather important and still do. Actually most of the blah blah blah is serious stuff presented in the best form I had available at the time – audio/video of LDPCSD Board Meetings; researching records (NOTE: LOCATE LAFCO STING OP- lol); posting those contradictory and baffling LAFCO Annexations (ignoring their own rules and regulations – not to mention COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THE MR WECs (MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS) of the Lake Don Pedro Subdivision who will be saddled with massive and increasing expenses for perpetuity, blah blah blah…

(The secret to such calculated fraud against citizens is this….. wait long enough and the people that know the truth pass away or move away. The later option often expressed by .GOV officials who permit and benefit from this “status quo” which they do not wish to aggravate by doing their jobs*. They parrot “it’s a civil issue, get an attorney or move”.

New home/property owners, however, come up here from higher density living conditions of big towns or cities, see these beautiful rolling foothills parked between two wonderful bodies of public water; even views of Yosemite National Park in some areas of the subdivision with a good hilltop view –

– (Rest in peace Marion and James “Jim” Dean – what Mariposa County did to you was reprehensible on every level and I, for one, will never forget the hell they put you through at the end of your lives for only asking that Mariposa County enforce their own existing law and not allow the destruction of their property to construct a nonconforming road which violated several public safety fire regulations – because once again, the County refused (causing harm to others) to simply obey SRA (State Responsibility Area) Fire Safe Regulations – passed years before, much less, their own County Codes regarding development requirements, proper permits, requirements for public roadways, etc. God Bless you two for standing up for your rights yet receiving no justice in Mariposa County at the end of your,….<STOP!?>)

Where was I? Yeah, so new residents probably greatly appreciate how much less expensive their water bills are here compared to some major city. Sure, I get it – so they wonder “how could anyone complain about what they’re paying for water here?” Because, you SHOULD BE CONSUMING a better quality water for a much less cost IF THE WATER LICENSE ISSUED FOR OUR SUBDIVISION WAS OBEYED! (Ahhh, but there lies the rub… the license could not be obeyed because it was ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE STOLEN FROM MR WECs WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THE THEFT FOR PERPETUITY! Diabolical yeah? LAFCOs (Local Agency Formation Commissions) they created the LDPCSD to obtain our water for all their lofty plans of foothill expansion with OUR WATER and OUR FORCED FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE CONTINUING FRAUD. This is just to SOS (Same old Shit!).

There are more equitable ways to furnish water to lands outside the RIGHTFUL PLACE OF USE SUBDIVISION than to saddle those legitimate users of Merced River Water with the added costs for this “Groundwater Substitution” program (or whatever they might call it now) which requires additional processes, equipment, detailed reporting to the State of California…blah blah blah. Does anyone believe these costs are going to go down?

SLUMBERING ….Shhhhsssssssh…secret LAFCO SUBDIVISION?

Anyway, while looking for something else I ran across this LDPCSD Board of Directors meeting A/V request for the (drum roll) “infamous KAMPA POU Map”. (If a fake map was used as evidence to obtain Federal Funding and/or loans,…. wouldn’t that be a crime….? I mean, especially if INTENTIONALLY PLANNED FOR 20 years with that “slumbering subdivision” by the lake – with only those involved aware? Assistance by former, and current, directors on the “acting” Board of Directors Defectors? GeeZ, can’t believe I had put all this out of the way. Not only physically in boxes and external drives, but you know? Out of my mind while trying to move on and enjoy life without such institutionalized deceit, hypocrisy, and just plain dishonesty.

Come to think of it – wouldn’t EVEN attempting to surreptitiously replace the legitimate POU map in Sacramento with Kampa’s KNOWN FAKE POU be a crime in itself? Apparently not really, when so “tight” with CSDA (California Special District Association) and other “community water” organizations. They all cover each other. So very sad and disillusioning.

Anyway…. what about that map? lol

“June 15 2020 LDPCSD Board Meeting Audio CD request & past outstanding information request” (from old post on this site)

“Hello Syndie, when the CD is ready please advise and I will make arrangements to pay for it and pick  up.    Also, regarding my previous requests for obtaining the MID (Merced Irrigation District) 1993 Shape file map which former GM Peter Kampa used in his multi-year costly attempt at enlarging the LDPCSD Place of Use boundary for Merced River water under WL11395 (ie, water service outside the LDP approved residential subdivision Place of Use),  I have still not received this map (much less an answer as to why) from current GM Patrick McGowan despite multiple requests.  What is the holdup in furnishing this PUBLIC INFORMATION?   This map was unequivocally utilized under Kampa management to fabricate other government documents; apply for millions of dollars in state and federal grants; misdirect financial resources and district water service operations for over four years – all to the special benefit of owners of LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES in the LDPCSD that were clearly outside the approved subdivision PLACE OF USE boundary.  (In other words, the LDPCSD had no legal duty or moral obligation to provide any water service for LAFCO ANNEXATIONS – much less the unilateral right to saddle thousands of unsuspecting legal water customers in the subdivision with those substantial and increasing added costs.)   This matter is something that needs to be addressed and cleared up prior to any vote on another PROP 218 to increase water rates and fees since funds from the last PROP 218 were clearly used to pursue the KAMPA water service expansion plan that was completely based on that 1993 MID shape file map.   Customers have a right to understand how such an expensive multi-year LDPCSD boondoggle could have been launched and maintained for so long based on an antiquated map Kampa had apparently picked up and possessed for over 20 years (when first employed at the LDPCSD between 1994-1997) and evidently used since then in orchestrating his decades long water expansion scheme.    This map has never been revealed to district customers despite multiple  requests.    Only the Merced Irrigation District, investigating State Water Board and Pete Kampa have been privy to this information that has been misused against legal customers of this district.    Is there something else (regarding this map) that is also being actively concealed from the public prior to the next proposed rate increase Prop 218 vote?          Thank you, Lew Richardson”

Oh something else I had forgotten – AFTER that August 3, 2000 FALSE REPORT OF AN ESCAPED FIRE ON MY PROPERTY was reported by a supporter of the LDPOA ELECTION FRAUD- (wife worked there too)-

(that “cheat election” where quorum requirements were wrongfully lowered for their purposes and I had my knee messed up – and the video camera and tape showing how I was injured, threatened with arrest if I did not give it to Tuolumne deputies…..then was “LOST IN EVIDENCE” and no one viewed it until I went into the Tuolumne County Victim Witness Office and complained….. Equal treatment under law? Seriously, that wasn’t the only thing that this <STOP!> …..I digress)

(that false report fire call out) – which resulted in an absolute embarrassment to everyone, myself included, WAS INDEED EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNNECESSARY!

I had prepared a complaint on January 21st, 2001 for the Mariposa County Grand Jury (found the cover letter and have a good idea where the Certified Mail Receipts are, but I honestly had forgotten this interesting connection)…

The Certified USPS mailed package to the Mariposa County Grand Jury – whose foreman was a sergeant in the Mariposa Sheriff’s Office – was returned on two occasions for non pick up at the post office! Don’t remember/recall a name, but it might be interesting never-the-less to find out if involved in this most recent apparent WELLNESS CHECK SWATTING.

I’m going to close for now, this is horrible – recalling all this crap – had a headache most of the day. I rarely have headaches. Common sense would dictate just fatigue of the eyes from all the reading of papers and research online, but it’s not right that any of this is happening – to anyone.

My best to you and yours, Lew

MY LIZ IS CERTAINLY A NAGGING BEST FRIEND

(MUCH LIKE THAT SMART-ASS INNER VOICE)

SHE GETS SO IMPATIENT WHEN I FAIL TO REALIZE

RE-CLAIMING HAPPINESS IS A LIFE CHOICE

.

BUT NO LONGER DOES SHE WANT TO GO OUT ALONE

AND INSISTS ON BRINGING ME ALONG

SHE KNOWS THAT I AM REALLY HURTING INSIDE

AND IT’S OUTSIDE (THE PAIN) WHERE WE BELONG

.

THOUGH SHE IS ALMOST NOW COMPLETELY BLIND

IT’S NOT WITH DIMMING EYESIGHT SHE SEES

BUT THE 24/7 365 TIME

OF DEVOTION SHE HAS SPENT WITH ME

.

THANK YOU GOOD LORD FOR THIS COMPANION

WHO EVERYDAY REMINDS ME WHY

WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD DESPITE OBSTACLES

TOGETHER AS A TEAM UNTIL ONE, OR BOTH, OF US DIES.

My best to you and yours, Lew

PS: Yup, looks like a powerful storm might be on its way and “Liz thinks” we should bring in some firewood to stay warm. lol

BEST FRIEND

She is so intelligent, sensitive and comforting on so many different levels – it’s really hard to explain, unless you have experienced the same sort of “survival relationship” with a non-human friend. Sure, a lot of our “inner species understanding” is probably just wishful thinking or anthropomorphizing¹ to a point, however, I do seriously wonder sometimes if the spelling of “dog” backwards is just a coincidence considering the long history of human development with canines (and other animals) represented with an array of historical artifacts of tribute, clearly expressing a high degree of praise and adulation. Dog and God. Hummm, “dog gone”? Quite a stretch but it sure would fit in this often appearing Godless Society that as been forced on the American public with all the….<STOP!>

OH YEAH! Something I failed to mention in that previous Halloween “Spoof posting (of the alien in the kitchen-dining room that grabbed me in the early morning …….”), that actually made that blah blah blah humorous.

You see, I purchased a few of those “interactive audio toys” for vision impaired “best friends” just before leaving on this last trip in August. Unfortunately, Liz didn’t take to the toys right off, so I put them aside until she became more comfortable with them (which she obviously eventually did and it is hilarious watching her push, shake, throw, and just otherwise HAVE FUN with them! Like a geriatric puppy! Hell, made me feel “good” too just watching her involved and not just staring into nothingness as she now often does…… and possibly wondering …. what’s happening to me? Where did everything go?

But I digress from the point.

Since she wasn’t using them before we left and they were just placed on the floor off to the side of her great room bed – and basically forgotten by the both of us – laying in all the clutter of loading clothes, equipment, and supplies for the approaching desert trip departure — AND THAT’S WHAT MADE IT FUNNY!

We both totally forgot about that (what I call a) “talking alien ball” so when I did get tangled in that 550 para cord on the floor – for a second or two – I REALLY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IT WAS! Sure, I quickly recalled the toys Liz was ignoring, but for that short period of time, I TRULY FELT THAT FIGHT- FLIGHT RESPONSE and my response was:

TO GET IT OFF MY FOOT AND AWAY FROM ME AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!

Anyway, I’ve been meaning to explain that little variable to the story – even if too late. Yeah, I know wasted all this explanation that doesn’t really matter in the scheme of things and Liz is impatiently waiting so, sorry. later.

SO- YOU ARE ANGRY,

QUESTIONING

FRUSTRATED

UNINFORMED?

THESE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS

WHAT A FRIGG’N RACKET

THEY INTENTIONALLY CAUSED IT ALL!

WHY THE DISCRIMINATION?

1 CANON: A BODY OF PRINCIPLES, RULES, STANDARDS, OR NORMS

PS: IT IS NOT YOUR SPEAKER(S)! As said below – somewhere in this public meltdown of what the &^%$ happened when <STOP!> “the incident” occur <STOP!> the recent posts have drawn on past posts containing some of the first LAMEs (Lew’s Almost Music Expression) and the sound quality is not that great and often the “bass notes” are a bit over whelming and make unpleasant speaker noise – [of course I am not saying any of the LAMEs are any good because I’m not a trained musician, only an old fart who bought some equipment on Amazon and starting experimenting and doing A LOT OF EDITING! lol Never-the-less, I found it quite enjoyable and therapeutic for the insanity displayed within OUR COUNTRY (THE PEOPLE’S COUNTRY) for many years. But I digress. As always.]

So, whatever quality might exist, it also fluctuates quite a bit with not only the passage of time with production, but the

FRIGG’N ATTITUDE

AT THE TIME AS WELL!

…. if you catch my drift.

My best to you and yours, Lew

I should have also noted below that even the “good memories”, almost forgotten with the passage of time and pace of life, can have significant emotional results that can be very misleading. Even to the point that at first blush, the memory seems to hurt so bad when recalled it must therefore also be a “bad memory of a bad time” because of the high degree of emotional expression and response. Ahhh, but that is not necessarily true and was/is primarily a matter of perspective. You know, the old “glass half full, or half empty”. (As someone I love and respect very much recently reminded me.) So yes, very sad how and why she left, but the past and enduring rewards of our time together far outweighed the natural heartache of a best friend headed for that rainbow bridge. Yeah? And we very slowly forget (or successfully suppress and wrap for that hallway closet? lol) that nagging pain of losing a beloved companion. (Which of course could be a goldfish to a five year old child, or an almost 10 year old German Shepherd Dog to a senior citizen. It’s all perspective with the corresponding reactions and acceptance depending upon a myriad of variables in “life”. )

TARA’S LIFE WAS STILL ENHANCING MINE EVEN YEARS LATER

The loss was certainly painful but when considered in light of all the good years Tara and I had together before her death, perhaps the emotional result of having that “sense of absolute loss reignited momentarily” again (by viewing an old video made at the time) is actually a BLESSING IN DISGUISE by forcing re-acknowledgment of the wonderful years actually spent together?

Yeah, not too clear. Shorthand – many people know the pain of loosing a beloved companion – a living animal they loved very much (Interrupting little smart ass voice says: “So get your head out of your ass and think about the totality of what that relationship actually meant and how it enriched the lives of two different species for almost ten years.”

So anyway, while trying to organize this mess of files I found this. I certainly hadn’t forgotten that sweet girl, but watching the video brought it all back like it was yesterday – and you know what? I am truly thankful.

MISTAKES MISTAKES MISTaAKAES! lol

I often find numerous mistakes in previous posts but don’t like to go back and change things if unnecessary for clarification or “readability/listening”. Perhaps some kind of character flaw, I see obvious errors in all sorts of public information and much of the time the reader/listener can “automatically” adjust the error in their own head and continue absorbing whatever….. but I MADE THE MISTAKE ON MY WEBSITE….so it’s different. lol

Case in point. Below I corrected the original lyric that had the word “hated”, which was a typo, instead of “hatred”. (I could have also misspelled it while typing and the spell checker replaced the word had I been in the word processor, but I wasn’t it was “off the cuff” composition on the blog without the more logical approach of typing in the processor then “pasting into the post”. Of course not all “writing options” make the trip successfully to the post which causes more difficulties. Just like the guitar, Casio keyboard, cameras, computers, cell phone, etc….. I don’t have the knowledge to use them to their full capabilities and am content with just “getting the basic job done” for my purposes.

Yup, thought about leaving the error “as is” because of how it was used in the sentence – considering a reader’s “auto correct” understanding because of the context of it’s use in the statement. But I couldn’t let it go……especially with a word like “hated”.

“Your hated….” with a viewer’s auto-correct understanding not contextually correct , might see it as “You’re hated…..”, in stead of “Your hatred….”, so I corrected it and just wanted to be “up front” with what done since the original post. Again, probably no big deal.

My best to you and yours, Lew
