Scanner Reports 10-2-19

By Roger the Scanner Guy

I was reading more about the proposed 15 South Alisos homeless residences and thinking the only Homeless shelter I know of on the West Side is the Salvation Army, only a block into the West Side on the 400 Block of Chapala. Maybe the next couple of shelters ought to go on the West Side. Then maybe a couple on the Mesa,  Upper State Street, Rivera, Hope Ranch. Share and share alike it’s only right. Of course, the shelters might be here but the campers are everywhere else.

I saw the replay of the interview with John Palminteri on KEYT about the Homeless Camp Fire and I saw how big that campsite was. That 50K grant for homeless camp clean up is going to get sucked up quickly cleaning that place and maybe a couple more, then how is this going to be prevented from happening again 6 months down the road? Because it is not the first time for that area, there have been fires in that general area before and maybe in that same spot. I spoke to Peter, one of the men John interviewed, before about the fires there and the fires have come very close to structures, are we going to wait until there is a tragedy? That is usually what it takes to get things done. If there are camps all over the place, might as well build one huge camp but then again maybe not. That was quick but if we were to build a huge campsite it should go on the West Side. It’s their turn.

I was thinking the other day, I do that sometimes, about how when I took people in I fed them and myself. I’d make a huge pot of white rice, it was the nastiest cheapo rice, then I’d go to Taco Bell buy a bean burrito for .50 cents take about 30 or 40 sauce packets and empty them in the rice, no one ever ate it I was the only one. They smoked all my cigarettes and drank all my coffee though. What kind of foods have you cooked while broke? Probably something better than nasty cheapo white rice.

The cooler weather is coming on, it’s time to cook some good hot chili that sticks to the bones. I’d have to make mine with lentil because for some reason me and beans do not get along. I was supposed to go to the doctor yesterday but I cannot seem to walk too far anymore without extreme pain plus I twisted my knee. I never made it and  feel like carp having to call them 5 minutes before the appointment to cancel, getting older truly SUCKS. Oh well Here is your Scanner Reports.
