Park It

It is difficult to grow  a garden or anything in this vast dry desert but Pete and Charles and  wife Jean managed to plant one and are now growing a small organic garden...determined I would say but now to keep the wild burro's,pigs,rabbits and chipmunks out will be another story .

Visiting with Pete Casanova in Coyote East. Pete describes himself as poor as a churchmouse - living on just his and Kristine's social security checks. Poor, but smart, resourceful, and one of the more cheerful, open people I've had the pleasure of knowing. In the foreground is the solar system he's hand built with cast off parts for pennies on the dollar. By the time he's done, I'm sure it will all be attractively laid out as well. Pete came over to our uppity Coyote West for a few months as manager, but found the pay and amenities not worth the hassle, or the suburban ambience. I agree. East is full of interesting characters like Pete. And has black velvet star spangled nights, serenaded by wild burros and howling coyotes.

Well the deed is done and we backed the new managers into the right spot and Trinidad and Kita and dog Jamie will start being the great managers that I know they will be.

Usually HAPPY HOUR goes from 4 to 6 (which we do not attend as we do not drink)..but lately the drunk crowd has been pushing it past the 6 o'clock hour. Then last night happened....very drunk people kept o and on with loud laughing and shouting and lewd remarks. We let them go but at nine o'clock...which is the quiet hour Pete went out and asked them to disperse because people were going to bed and trying to  sleep. They ignored him and made unkind remarks when he walked away ...and the noise got even more intense so at 9:40 Pete went back out and very nicely told them they had to disperse . They started bad mouthing him once again as he walked away. this time saying they were going to beat him and he had no right to tell them what to do. They did however leave going to one of the trailers for more drinking and as they passed right next to our place they again said they were going to beat Pete up and flashed ...
