Catching Up

These last few posts have not been what I've wanted to post of course, but I did commit to several of my friends to post regularly. I've had a great deal of work to do of late, and while I feel good at the end of the day, having taken back a little bit of my life from whatever condition this is which devours hours and days from my conscience experience, by the time I get set in for the evening I've been too tired to press out a real blog entry. So, I've copied a few articles which were of interest to me that day, and published those.

Much has occurred over the last week however, and trying to catch up is becoming more burdensome on my mental state every day.

The Santee Municipal Code (10.20.150) is still being enforced. The Sheriffs have simply quit enforcing it on me. I've changed my sleeping space several times, so they have run across me, expecting I was some place else; but once they find me occupying a homeless-frequented space, they simply walk away. Sort of a reverse discrimination; several of the homeless here in Santee have shown me tickets they have received over the last week.

One in particular (we'll call him Troy if we need a name) just got out of jail after doing 60 days for the Lodging Code. Unfortunately, he has now lost everything (again), all of his tools, the job he was working and even his bicycle. Since he pleaded guilty to the offense, there's nothing we can do about any of these losses, or the legality of the law with him. This really upset me to hear.

Since I'm no longer getting these tickets (though I'm sure if I break a "real" law I'll be treated as any other criminal, as it should be), I've been putting my creative mind to the stone and trying to come up with another route to pursue.

I'll have to post a few times to catch you all the way up.
