The Spine

It pays to have friends at City Hall!

Friend # 1

City Property might as well be mine!

Either a certain family in Warren has a friend at City Hall or these brothers have world-class Hutzpa. While excavating the back yard of his property with a back hoe, one of these brothers treated City property just like his own. The road side at Minder became this brother's personal dump site and the road side at Black Knob became his personal storage site. Still, everything must have been Kosher because two orange cones were placed on the pile of dirt being stored on the City's property on Black Knob. 

... or at least one might have thought so until another of these brothers started throwing stones at the photographer as he was  leaving by way of Minder Ave. Having missed the photographer with the rocks, this brother then came after the photgrapher with his pick up truck. Despite the photographer having steered his bicycle down little used Navajo Trail, the pick up pursued right behind the photographer until the shutter bug sharply turned his bicycle down the steep hill at Briggs. 

Who'da thought that just getting 'stoned' could leave ya feelin' so run down?

Friend # 2

Blocking sidewalks is a *CRIME*

   ... as long as I am not the blocker.


Greg Pike of dog, cat and mouse fame was arrested, then cuffed and hauled off to the pokey in plain view of tourists for having committed the heinous crime of "loitering with intent to beg". Some folks complained that Greg deserved such harsh treatment for his third degree misdemeanor citation because he was blocking the sidewalk.

Wait a minute! Hasn't a certain coffee house in downtown Old Bisbee put up a wall permanently blocking the sidewalk? Could the only difference between these two cases just be that one of these 'blockers' has friends at City Hall and the other does not?

When it comes to blocking sidewalks, it appears that Greg is a piker! With a permanent wall and awning, Greg's competition in blocking public thoroughfares has clearly upstaged his dog, cat and, mouse act!
