Scanner Reports 9-18-17

Hello, Good Morning. I hope most of you had a good weekend. I was strolling through the Milpas UNDERPANTS the other day and I noticed it was whiter than usual, almost blinding my eyes white. Brighter, cleaner, except the stains were still there and I wondered what happened. I felt as if something was wrong with my eyes or maybe the sun was up in such a way it was affecting the way the cement looked. It was kinda strange. Then on Sunday morning I saw an article on the internet that 16 People are dead and 421 ill in San Diego from a Hepatitis A outbreak. It said in the article that the streets are being bleached. I was hoping that this was fake news, then I opened up my LA Times opinion section and I read a little article called, The Public Toilet Shortage. The last couple paragraphs of the article stated: “Not having enough toilets and sanitary facilities is the precursor to a public health crisis. Witness what’s been happening in San Diego, where an outbreak of Hepatitis A – a disease that spreads when people fail to wash their hands after going to the bathroom – has left 16 people dead and nearly 300 hospitalized. More than half afflicted are homeless people. Now the city is scrambling to erect industrial tents with beds and hygiene facilities. In Anaheim, city officials calculated that taking away a few port-a-potties along the Santa Ana River would reduce the number of homeless people camped there it has not.” Then this last paragraph: “You don’t make homeless people vanish by refusing to provide toilets. You just end up with unsanitary conditions for everyone.” Well maybe some officials just want to cut down on the population a little, and what better way than to take out poor people. But sooner than later, the middle class are affected and a few wealthy people too. This is the first I have seen of this. Gentleman Jim told me the story has been floating around the internet several days now. Horrible, horrible, horrible. How come this is the first we have been hearing about it? It’s bad enough there are not enough toilets out there for the public and the homeless, there’s human feces all over the place there, here, everywhere. Where do homeless people go to the bathroom? San Diego is not that far away. Los Angeles even closer. Do we have any cases here in Santa Barbara yet? Is anything being done? Is this why the Milpas Underpass looks so clean? Has it been bleached? I’m sure some folks out there don’t like what I got to say about this. “Why doesn’t he mind his own business and Shut Up?” I don’t mind my own business and shut up because anyone can get this and I care, so there.
