STRIKE!: Part II of the Loaves & Fishes bowling saga

A snip from the homepage at the Country Club Lanes website.
Word is that there WAS NOT a disinformation campaign. The staff of Loaves & Fishes [formerly, often known as Loafs & Gone Fishing; now to be known as Loafs & Gone Bowling] truly did take a paid day off to goof off and go bowling on a day that left homeless people facing three days in a row without showers and when all the libraries were closed making 'somewhere to be' difficult for many.

A little bird tells me that the L&F staff turned up en masse at Country Club Lanes to try to knock down pins such to do, symbolically, what horrors it wants to do to innocent homeless people every occasional day when that staff bothers to show up for work.

What is known is that the staff bowled, with teams facing off against other teams (determined by departments). It is not known how many pitchers of icy cold Schlitz were consumed during the ball-throwing shenanigans. ["None" is the betting favorite.] Or what department won the event or why anybody would give a damn.

I am told that the reason for the event was that members of the staff get bleary-eyed and depressed during this time of year because of the stress of dealing with the homeless. They'd rather be sticking sardines in cans, but they are stuck -- STUCK, I say -- in their miserable jobs dealing with dirty and disorderly homeless people who bother them with requests -- instead of just going away.

Thus, it was the proles on the staff that made the urgent request for a day away from the drudgery of work (but NOT for a day away from the duty of expecting pay). The Exalted Leader in the brand-spanking new Kremlin building down the road, thinking all that work for her are simple Midwestern folks, determined that BOWLING was the thing to do since the Sac City Rollers didn't have a game until Saturday and they were 290 days too early for the next Star Trek convention.

I'm reminded of Major Clipton's words at the end of Bridge Over the River Kwai: "Madness! Madness!"

More obstacles revealed in effort to make Mather cottages habitable

Mold, asbestos and lead paint, oh my! The 35 cottages out at Mather Community Campus seem closer to being condemned today than ever again being inhabited. But the expectation that some of the cottages can and will be restored to house homeless families before spring abides. A report in the Sacramento Bee tells us ... Some [of the cottages] have extensive mold, a county analysis showed. It's not clear how the county planned to deal with lead paint and asbestos, [Rancho Cordova] Councilwoman Linda Budge said. Still, hope of getting some of the cottages in shape such that homeless families can move in is in play, though not before New Year's day.  Word of where the money might come from to make needed restorations has not been forthcoming, though it is known that the Winter Shelter Task Force hopes to hold a fundraiser to boost the pool of funds to meet the need to keep homeless people warm and safe. At the end of October, placing families, totalling 105 individuals, was

Ron Russell and Summerhills Realty

Readers of this blog should be aware that I am receiving some information that Summerhills Realty and someone named Ron E. Russell is using this blog as a reference in an effort to scam homeless people.  Be aware that Mr. Russell and his business is cited as a possible perpetrator of fraud by a website called Ripoff Report .  See this webpage .  Also, there is this claim of fraud against Ron Russell Properties at the website BizClaims - Latest scams, frauds and complaints . Please be aware that the information of being 'ripped off'' may be coming from only one source is coming from multiple sources, with perhaps as many as twelve persons/couples now pursuing legal action after paying thousands of dollars for services and receiving none of the services that were promised/contracted.

In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day

Calvin [a "green hat" in Unfriendly Park] makes the argument for continued incompetent management. Hobbes represents me — only, in real life, I don't have that good a coat . In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day In one respect — and only one — that I can think of, Loaves & Fishes is NOT hypocritical: The management hates the way America is run and wants to turn it into a backward communist country . Consistent with that, Loaves & Fishes’ management runs its facility like a backward communist country. The People’s Republic of Loaves & Fishes. A seemingly minor thing happened on New Year’s Day. A couple of people smoked a joint in Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park and one of the park directors, or both of them, determined, at about 10am, that, in retribution, they would punish all the homeless there by closing the park for the day. This is something the managers of the park do all the
