Outta Hand.

Spent Yesterday...
Cleanin' the House.
; )
It's gotten a bit...
 'Outta Hand'.
: )
oh dear. 
: )
Sure Wish I could get those Freeloadin' Spider's to Do Their Part!!
: )
{I'm guessin' They Know, what a 'Soft' Home...
we live in.
: )
Little Sh!ts!!
Too Cold to scoop 'em up...and put 'em outside.}

{Bless Their Hearts.}
<3
This is a 'Soft Home' to Critters, and God's 'little' Creatures.
; )

'Humans'...
on the other hand...
: )
well...
'bless their heart's'... too.
; )

After Cleaning...
Draggin' the Vac... for what seemed like Miles...
didn't have much Time, for 'images'.
; )
Looked back on Memories, 
from yesterday then decided to take Sally for a Stroll.

Sally was Buried... until day before yesterday.
Couldn't get Any of our Ford Family Out.
{Sally was blocking The Ford, in the drive. 
She Could NEVER get Over of the Mountains.}
We were Plowed In, by Fairfax's Now....
'Bike/Pedestrian/ATV/Snowmobile'
Trail.
Those Snowmobiles... were Runnin' FAST...
on Fairfax's Trail... along 151 in front of our Home...
that, by the way... 
Ought Not Be... 
According to Our 'Recorded Agreement' 
with...
The Iowa Department of Transportation.

Our Kids... ride Snowmobiles.
<3
People, drove through our property, 'Before'.
but...
Not Like This.
: (
It's Like a Racetrack, here...now.
: (
I'll bet they were doin' 80 miles an hour.
Mark my words...
Somebody's gonna get hurt.
: (
or worse.
: (.....
{I'll try and capture a video, next time. 
They were movin' so Fast.... didn't have time to get my phone out.
Might have to invest in a Trail Cam!!
'Fairfax Bike/Pedestrian/ATV/Snowmobile'
Trail Cam.
 to
 Think...
 they All Kept Sayin'...
when I asked Them All..
Repeatedly....
{IDOT and Fairfax...}
"There Is No Trail."
until...
 it was nearly 
Built.
Pretty difficult to deny it, then.
: (

''

Justin plowed the snow back from the drive, where the Snowmobile people plowed the Trail's snow, on us.


Water is already ponding.



More ponding on our property, where it never did before IDOT's Fairfax Trail Accommodations.

The Elevation...and Encroachment... is a Problem.
Water simply does not run uphill.


I'm the only one... on 151 that didn't get a concrete driveway, when IDOT came through with this last 'Project'.
They put in this Horrible... Soft, Loose Rock, that's a Mess... every time Justin plows.
{Yes... They are Aware of It.}
We have to rake it up... Extremely Well, before we mow.
The mower throws rocks into the highway, or our Home.

Even my Neighbor's... who had gravel drives, before... got concrete from IDOT, with the last 'Project'.

I remember when a Worker from IDOT District 6 told me...
"If you wouldn't have gotten a 'Lawyer' involved, we might have been 'nicer' to you."
{To think, at First... I really liked him. : (}
I just stood there, looking at him, and said...
"I sure Hope You... Never have to go through Condemnation.
{He lives on Highway 30. It Could Easily Happen.}
If You Do... Even...You, Had Better Have a 'Lawyer'.
I wouldn't even 'Wish' 'This'... on You."
: (

{This was our Second Condemnation by IDOT.
 Headin' for a Third, with The City of Fairfax, soon.
{IDOT is helping The City Finance their 'Project'.}
'Death by a Thousand Cuts'.}

Lawyer Meardon filed papers... in Linn County, recently.
That's Some Very Interesting 'Reading'.
Wow...
Wow.

We're heading to
 Trial.
Jury
 Trial.
Stay tuned.



That's a Fact.

Was just talking to my Pal... yesterday, who's 
Finally, Finally...
Living Her 'Fairy Tale',
 about the above.
: )
<3
then... it popped up on 
'Memories'.
: )
My Pal... has Never Known the Above.
: (
until...
NOW!!
<3
So Happy For Them Both!!
: ) : ) : )
Told her... should something happen, and this 'Whirlwind'... 
not work out, at LEAST She's Finally Known how Wonderful it is to
'Click'...
with Someone.
<3
{They met in High School. 
Now, nearly... 40 years later,
They 'Met'...
Again!!}
<3


Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
