creative movement. HI nEIghbor.......

i have started saying this spring, going outside. for a couple decades 80-00......i didnt necessarily meet neighbor eyes. i lived in calif and reno and we didnt do a whole lot of chatting and didnt really want to. i was old getting married and moving into a neighborhood. i am having to learn how to be a neighbor. because, we have all become busy, it isnt that we dont want to, we are just tired. and when we come home, we really want down time, our time.

spring is coming, and then summer. i had a three year old little boy, that is insisting he wants to love the whole neighborhood. and i get this because i have two boy 7 and 9 that did the same not too many years ago, and they already love this neighborhood.

i also have a nieghbor with confederate flag, illegal guns, drugs, oh and a pitbull that gets lose. i am finally hearing neighbors say, ya that is right these two little ones shouldnt have to live with threat of this pitbull. talk about preventitive 7 years and a pack of rotweillers, people are finally getting it

we have to slow down traffic. walmart, united and other growth half a mile north, has so increased traffic. it is a fun street to drive. one of the few hills in town, can go down fast and then going back up, can hit it. everything fun about driving is in this street. the three year old is crossing to my house, at the most blind spot, coming off a hill, with huge speed. we have teenager coming thru a lot

three kerry bumperstickers up the street, a gay (i think) atheist woman with animals and lived in albq a while, went after people, is back in town, with a mouth. likes food? she talks about the good dem cooking at democratic functions. organizing.

the more i think of the last 24 hours, talking to a couple neighbors

this is amarillo f*in texAS

we have 2 attorney up street i know about. more families moving in. it seems to be becoming "the" street of liberal. i am almost feeling sorry for the fundies on this street,

there is more in all the connections to mayors people with the money and power. next to the country club, "the" lol

i guess what i am saying. this republican before for most rreg joes really is just too much. i think it is time for me to get more into the dem party here in town. i hear they meet at a library,. well of course they are dems..........not out at club, but surrounded by books and yea......the coolest. i wonder what the texan democrat looks liek. i cant wait

i think dems are doing so much, and so many dismiss it. the dude on stewart said dems did this in 18 motnhs what repug did in 40 years. that is a huge step forward.

what is in your neighborhood

1. continuing.....mayors race,......may i believe. a woman repug

running. she was wife to my husbands partner. gosh a story in power manipulation. she is going up against an x, a good ole boy not so good.

she can use this street. it is a beautiful street lots of trees. and the "hill". and the sun sets so nifty. she can stand there at the blind spot and tie in

corporate responsiblity. to be a good neighbor. i love the growth above us, but.......i want it done right. and walmart can pay. and be a good neighbor.

we are really tired of being screwed, you talk family values,.......we have such dirty texans. dems repugs.....we all know this.

2. I always love your posts. My "hood"

is in downtown Ojai...three or four Buddhists live within a four or five house radius. They are cool to talk to these days because they are active and aware of everything happening politically but always keep a good attitude. One is picking me up to go to a Dem picnic in the park later today--my first such event.

This is an artists' community, notoriously "liberal" in the midst of a redistricted red sea. Nonetheless, our community failed to get 2/3 of its vote to pass a $150 parcel tax for 5 years that would have kept the school district from having to fire 35 teachers. Now some people are putting together a special fund privately.

In my hood, there was one Bush sign out down the street. A young couple connected with the military. And in case anyone gets the idea that artists are liberal, one of the most rabid neocons here is a gifted maker of tiles. He has one of the coolest structures in town...it looks like a stone hobbit house. I was astounded to learn that the builder of this exquisite dwelling was the very same one that I do battle with in the pages of our local newpaper. There are others who write too, bemoaning their victimization in this land of "aging hippies" and ignorant, worthless liberals, whining how they can't get decent service at the "liberal" health food store, etc.

I wish they would all come to dinner with some of us "liberals" and we could just get to know each other as folk.

3. well on this i am saying

children up to 4 in u.s. ahead in math with other countries
8th the others caught up
12th others were ahead

i also have a business that i hire young people. i am seeing a work force resulting .......in this. lol lol

and i tell you, i say what.....

i am also raising two boys to become employee/er? and work ethic ect.....

i am absolutely questioning friedmans genius is whereever or b+ student in l.a. now a days can be a genius in another country. i know this is a right ploy, but what i am recognizing is our young workforce

as an employer, not impressed. see it in two boys. and nieces and nephews too.

so, using repug arguement, i say we had better damn well fund these schools cause i stepped into public just a few months ago, and seeing so much, and differences in school. which has to do with white money, growing adn the school they got. just a mile from me. lol lol wow
