All the years of apprenticeship in Shirley have finally come to fruition.
The rich people and the Americans have gotten all their ducks in a row.
Now the taxes will go up as things are gotten that were wanted; taxes that are paid by the poor - non-Americans in Shirley; again - the poor subsidizing the rich.
Our muddy, over-chlorinated water is now silver gold; its price going from $400 per year to $1,200 per year in five short years. I feel privileged, “which is to say” - I’m disconnecting the water.
The fire hall volunteers want two fire halls for Shirley, one for Shirley, and the other, so Jordan River doesn’t get one - (a sort of tree hugger, CRD, dilemma, paradox, kind of situation, I guess).
I’m overwhelmed by the talented, competent, intelligent, and self-effacing attitude in Shirley - Gem of the Region.
