Some young people have stacked rocks on top, along the entire width of
the dyke (where the drain ditch comes out from Woodland Hills Mall).
This is near the stop signs by the bridges going toward BT South. Maybe
they were playing but people can't walk through there without climbing.
There are people who cut through that way to go back and forth between
the apartments. This is making it hard for them to cut through the
addition.
Does anyone know if these young people were just playing around when they did this or were they hired by the city to build this?
One of the neighbors who lives next to it was very concerned that someone could get hurt in the dark, as we do have lots of people who walk there with their dogs. Plus, being Halloween there may be more foot traffic tonight.

A Spooky Halloween Saga
Long
ago and far away in a neighborhood that time forgot, lived a most
unhappy, troubled, tortured soul. Some rightfully are wary of it, yet
others will engage it out of fear of reprisal. It traverses the peaks
and valleys with an eerie wild look on it's face, sometimes just
stopping to stare, yet unseeing, with those dark foreboding eyes.
Some believe it is plotting and planning what dark deeds to unleash upon it's unsuspecting prey. Cold chills tingle and shiver down one's spine just thinking of an encounter with it. All hours of the night and day does this thing troll the neighborhood, stirring up dissension and gossip, should anyone ever muster enough courage to get close to speak to it.
Oh yes, some will engage for they are it's minions, ever at the ready to do it's bidding; hanging on every malicious and foul word that spews from it's crooked, lying mouth. And once you engage with it you are under it's spell of lies and twisted sense of logic. Absolute control of every situation and the hunger for more and more power is what feeds this thing, confusion and strife are mere appetizers.
Whether the dark of night or twilight before dawn, you might catch a glimpse, as it slinks back into the shadows, hoping to remain undetected as it patiently waits for those unsuspecting souls. It cannot help itself, because it does not understand the Light. The Light of Truth, Honesty and Integrity are it's eternal enemies; it cannot understand what it does not comprehend. It is the absence of Light. It is the origin of all lies, deceit and every evil scheme born. And then there are those who pretend they don't understand the difference between right and wrong, just so they can continue to be dishonest, spreading confusion and strife. This serves the darkness well.

It only has power if you allow yourself to compromise a little here, or a tiny bit...just one time, there. Should this happen, you have made it very happy, and it will continue to pull you in, piece by piece, til you lose your very own soul. Such has been the fate of many.
Everbody Is A Wonderin...
....where in tarnation I have been. Well, me and some of them men folk here in the Burny Tree took off an went huntin fer a spell, down to one of them fancy huntin parks. Sometimes you jest need to get away from all the gossup, an namecallin, and a trip to the grate outdoors breathin in som of that clean fresh air jest does the soul a whole lotta good. For shure, now.
Why I nevr laffed so much as when ole Curly was a tryin to catch a deer, waiting all day and nite long till he jest got so durned tired he jest fell plumb asleep! But what make it so funny was while he was a sleepin, a deer sneaks up to him to see what that crumpled heap was there jest a sleepin away. Yessiree, we nevr gonna let ole Curly live that one down.
I tried esplainin to the boys that we really didnt need to go all the way over to the fancy huntin park to catch us some squirrells, cause they got plenty rite here in the Burny Tree! And the reel bonus is all them rabbits we have us rite here in the backyards, why we can do all the huntin we want without evr going more then a few feets away.
Anyho, the mane reason fore checkin in before I git my muzzleloader an bow 'n arrows fore some more huntin with the boys, was to see ifin the new eleckted bored membrs done finally able to understand that the sudbivisons aint tied to the masturd associatin, and the homeowners certinly aint neither.
Well everbody knows that there aint nothin to prove that all us common folk who lives here in the Burny Tree is beholdin to the masturd associatin! Seems to be that it is clear as the daylite that comes up evr mornin, but some of them who be sitting on the bored, jest refuses to beleeve it! (I'd rather give them the beneifit of the doubters that they knows the truth but is just refusing insted of that they ain't smart enuf to read and understand, sumtin as simple as that.) Even after theys own atturny seen it wasn't so, he tried and tried to find other things to pick on even going as far as using wrong caselaw thinking we was a bunch of fools and couldn't see he was misinterpreting it, why all them other attorneys was amazed he dun that...and thin he actually charged olmost $3,000 of money us'ns had been forced by threats to give to the bored because that was before we knowed the truth.
I hear them men hollerin my name, so I best be gittin my muzzleloader and heads back to that fancy huntin park. Ya'll take care now and I will be back reel soon to catchup on the latest news here into the Burny Tree.

Em Jae's progress report on her diet
Hi all,
My apologies for messing up my last letter to you. I was uh wondering what that deleet button were. Now I know.
Em Jae fell off the bandwagon and was up eating her first breakfast by the time the rooster started crowin. Fried bologna, eggs and tomato gravy she learnt to make from her mother Inez. That's some good eatin'.
She dialed up Inez later to find out how to make for lunch that fish gravy which has cornmeal in them drippins. Anything with gravy sure is good.
Speaking of dialing the tellerphone, Em Jae is gonna get one of them Halloween stickers from out of the g'kids Hefty bag while they is out tipping over outbuildings. She wants one of them stickers with an eyeball to put on the tellerphone so she can say she have an eye-phone. It is gonna take her awhile to find it in the hefty bag they have all theys stuff in when they come to visit, with them clothes and everthing.
Em's plan is to go with her girlfiend to the rassling match if she looses some of her weights. She hasn't seemed able to loose much even though she rarely sits down to eat. I told her that if she likes to see a good fight (and boy howdy she loves watching em almost as much as she likes being in them) but anywho I told her she don't need to go far. She could just pop up some of her famous triple buttered popcorn, put it in one of them grocery sacks and sit in the Oldsmobile we had up on concrete blocks next to the house since the '70s. She can watch the neighbor woman when she gets to fightin with her old man. A good time is allways had by all.
And in that vehikle it is cool sitting in there with the wind blowing through since there aint no winnders in it and plenty of room now that we took them seats out and put them on the front porch. She kin turn a couple of old 5 gallon paint cans upside down to sit on and she can brag that she got real bucket seats in the Olds. (She is really into keepin up with the neighbors, you know.)
Hey, you in California...I got the word that you are reading my writings. Keep up the good work.
I'll be talking to you all soon.

TARE- Trash board. IMPORTANT MEETING information!
Kay
Price, who is very involved with city politics and involved with issues, has been sharing information about the new trash service the TARE board.
Currently trash service picks up our trash,
our bulky items (chairs, small appliances, end tables, etc), and our
grass clippings, tree limbs, leaves, etc. Under the new trash system:
- you will be given a cart , that you will pay for yourself or through the new trash fee ).
- All trash must be put in the cart and rolled to the curb,
- The trash lid must be down (it cannot be up).
- The trash will be picked up once a week
- Your trash will be weighed when it dumps the trash. Why? Your trash bill will be determined by how much trash you have.
- You will have another cart for recycling and all the recycling material will go into 1 cart (it will not be separated like it is now). and we know who is paying for the carts...see #1 above.
- You will be paying for recycling whether you recycle or not.
- If you bag your grass clippings, or bag your fall leaves, you will have to purchase separate biodegradable bags to put your yard waste in. You will no longer be able to use your own cheap trash bags.
This will cost
you more money.
So,
basically most carts will stay at the curb (who is going to wheel those
bulky things back and forth from your garage or back yard every week
especially if you are disabled or elderly.
Second, the poor people will
not be able to afford this kind of trash service, hence there will be
more dumping of trash in the city of Tulsa.
Third, those nice lawns you
see in your current neighborhood may not be so in the future. If it is
going to cost you more to buy separate biodegradable bags in order to
do your lawn the right way, you may not be able to afford it especially
during this shaky economy. More than likely you will mow without a lawn
bag.
Fourth, if you need to get rid of bulky waste, you will not be
able to set it on the curb like you do now, because they won’t take it.
You will need to hire a private trash hauler to come and haul off all
your bulky waste that either you could not sell at the garage sale or
that goodwill would not take. So please make a note on your 2012
calendar to take vacation time to do some deep spring cleaning to get
rid of all the things you no longer need in your household before July
1, 2012.
FACTS : There are only 4 title 60 trusts in Tulsa.The Trash board (TARE) and the Airport are two of the title
60 trusts. The only way a title 60 trust can disband itself is if 4/5 of
the board agree to do so. Unbelievable huh?
Our district counselors
have fought for us (the people) in regards to the fact that most of the
citizens do not want this new service. And still the trash board is
shoving it down our throats.
CITIZEN MEETING regarding the Trash Service for our voices to be heard. All homeowners and neighborhood associations in the
Tulsa area are invited to this. The media has been invited. Sunday, November 6thfrom 1:45 to 4:00 pm at Hardesty Library , 8316 E. 93rd St. (Fosser auditorium) You are invited to attend this meeting and please be sure to o let your
family, friends and others know who live in Tulsa.
Also, read these two stories and add a comment to the Tulsa World
