Back in The Saddle.

Took Monday Off.

Completely...Off The Grid.

; )

The last 30 days, well... the last 5 years....really, have been Exhausting.

{I Thank God...Every Day, for giving me strength. <3 <3 <3 }

 Recharged, today.

; )

Heading back to Van Horne...to wrap up Jerri's Sale.

We'll be there all week.

<3

Setting my Sites...on IDOT, and their Wrongful...Butchering, as well.

Heading to meet with our Lawyer, Josey Wales, today...

Going to drop some things off, with him.

Began sorting through images, Before...and After, IDOT's Wrongfulness, this morning...while washing the gray...out of my hair.

; )

Those IDOT Folks, District 6, and Fairfax....have nearly turned my hair White...

with their Wrongful...Shenanigans.

; )

Bless their hearts.

; )

Yep...making that bridge so Much Wider, and Taller, to accommodate Fairfax, with their Bike/Walking Trail...

destroyed us.

Wrongfully.

Told Newman...Staebler...Schnebolen...All from District 6, again, and again...

they were doing Bad Things, Wrongful...Things.
We had an agreement.

They denied it all.

Until they couldn't.

Until...Their Horrific Damages, were done.

That's Wrong...and Heartbreaking.

It seems pretty Simple, to me.

Guess...IDOT, and Fairfax, live by a different set of 'Rules'.

Certainly...not 'The Golden' One.

I wouldn't be writing about Any of This...

if...

They did.

Below...is 'before'.

The light pole...and trees, are gone.

The '49 Ford...had to be pulled back, to the Rabbit Hole...tight.

All...of what used to be the ditch, 'Drainage'...is now...gone.

We...are The Ditch.

Solely...for Fairfax's Trail.

Above..is After.

No Trees. That clump of debris...IDOT, never cleaned up...still...there, is where the Trees were.

The elevation...of 151, and massive encroachment, for Fairfax's Wrongful Trail Accommodations, both next to 151, and...Under DD1 Bridge, that adjoins our Land...have made us a Flooding Pit.

A Dangerous...Flooding...Pit.

Above...before.

Note where The Saint is standing.

{The IDOT TOOK That Old Pine, with This Condemnation, solely...

for Fairfax's Wrongful Trail Accommodations.

See The Saint?

White Speck...Standing In  Water.

No Ditch.

Yep...in a draught year.

oh my.

: ( : ( : ( 

Just...a few feet, until this water...reaches our Home.

When we get Big Rain, as I've told them all...over, and over...

It Will Completely Destroy Us.

Fairfax's Trail..on The NEW 3 Foot Higher Bridge...with a TRAIL On It, and all Graded, and Prepared, next to 151, for Fairfax's Suicide Trail.

{IDOT, nor Fairfax...would conduct a Safety Study, before they Spent Millions, on This Mess.

I BEGGED Them All...Repeatedly, to do so.

DEAF EARS. }

Above...

Yeah...Before, IDOT Turned Us......Into 'The Ditch'.

Before...IDOT's Wrongful Breaching of our Our Recorded Agreement.

Before...

Their Wrongful BUTCHERING...for Fairfax's Bike Trail Accommodations. 

If Only...IDOT would've SIMPLY Kept Their 'Word'.

Our Recorded Agreement.

Told The Truth....when I Asked Them For The Truth.

Fairfax Iowa City Hall...too.

Over, and Over.

Our Home...wouldn't have FLOODED 12 Times, in the last year and a half.

If You...ever, have to Deal...with IDOT, my advise, to You...is 

Don't.

Get a Lawyer.

Take Hundreds of Pictures, before and after.

{I...have Many Hundred's. Many. Hundred's.

Video...as well.

Many...Videos. }

Keep Great Records.

again...

Don't listen to them...don't deal with them...

and...

Hire The Very Best Attorney you can find.
