Just... Heading to The Shellsburg Estate Sale!! Flooding Issues... Again, This Morning, at Home. Images of The Sale... will be Late, Tonight!!


Got a little rain, this mornin'.
Since The IDOT's Highway 151/City of Fairfax, Iowa 'Bike Trail'... Accommodations, well...
this morning, marks #17 Flood, in our Home. 

Not to mention... where the rain is ponding, that it Never did 'before' 2020. 
Needed to take a stroll... in the rain, and capture those images.
Lawyer Meardon, May God Bless Him....
must have Quite a Photo Album, these days.
: (
Seems whoever painted The IDOT's and Fairfax's Bike Trail 151 Bridge... needs to be called back.
; )
It's only 4 years old. 
: (
Those Highway 151 Bridge/Fairfax Trail... Light Pole Bolts.
 hmmmm.
 Waiting.... waiting.... waiting. 

They look pretty sad, and abandoned.

Kinda like this entire IDOT/Fairfax 151 Bridge 'project', in my opinion.
Seems... Nobody from The City, or... IDOT ever wants to 'claim' it... when asked.
Millions, and Millions of Dollars, spent.... here,
 more... Millions Yet, will be Spent, very soon, that...in my opinion is tied Directly to, the sad, and 'seemingly' abandoned 151 Fairfax Bike Trail 'Project', that Nobody from Fairfax...or IDOT wants to take credit for, in any of my visits with them all, over the years.

how sad.

and...
we...
 just keep flooding.



: (.....................


Water... 
simply...
 doesn't run uphill. 

All of IDOT's, and Fairfax's Hired Engineer {Hall and Hall Engineering}
 acknowledge 'that'...
yet...
THIS?????????
They All... Either Had Their Hands in This Design...
or 
Approved of  'THIS'???
Hmmmmmm.
: (
Wow.
: (
No WONDER Fairfax City Hall is Refusing to show us Hall & Hall's Topography Survey of our property they conducted last Fall, conerning The West Cemetery Road Bridge, that adjoins our land, to the North...  I've been Begging them for, for Months. Even after the City's IDOT Contact, Confirmed... The City COULD share that Hall and Hall Topography Survey with us.

The City... just last week...
through an email
Said... in so many words...
"No Go." 
about 'Sharing' the Survey,
until...
 After...
 They start 'negotiations' for acquiring the properties for The City's West Cemetery Road Bridge Project.
hmmmmm.
{that would mean 'Condemnation'... for us.}

So, the way I see it, The City... only wants to share the Facts, and Surveys with us....
{Public Records}
After... 
The Dealing is Done, and we have no recourse.

WOW. 
Just...
WOW!!

So Much For 
'Transparency'
Fairfax!!
; )

oh my.
: ( : ( : (

Like a Pal, recently stated, after reading all of the City's Emails they'd recently sent me...
"Sounds Mighty 'Shady'... to me."

yes....
indeed.

Too Many Irons... 
Too Many Fires.
: (
Oh Dear!!
; )

The Iowa Department of Transportation, and Fairfax, Iowa City Hall...
oh my.

bless their hearts.

The last 8 years have been something else.
The Book.... is coming.



More... Sale Images, Tonight.
Stay Tuned.
