Damn city rides my a$$ once again

Two yrs ago I was cited for "junk vehicles" because my mint W126 and the Porsche 911SC cabrio in the drive had expired stickers. At that time I took pics of the mayors drive where I found a chev PU with expired tags. They backed off after receiving a letter from my attorney.

Today I find a red tag on my door for no permits for some work I am doing here at the house. Driving around I found two remodels going on across the street from the city manager (no permit seen) and a house owned by the current mayor where a new fence is going up. No permit there either. hmm...wheres my camera.

I have a neighbor who is pissed because in 2000 I bought this house out from under him. Rumor has it he is the one that is making waves. Building inspector himself told me this. He's the fat bastard that drives his gold Lexus 1 block to work everyday. Honks at his own house as he passes for everyone to see.

I just hope my neighbor speaks spanish. "Casa de venta" I'm outa here...
Got to find some bright color paint to supply the new owners.

Going to city hall tomorrow with many pictures and a big attitude.

Farmersville Tx, a "don't pet my dog" type of town. Nothing but inbreeders and *********s.

I've had stuff stolen by the kids of city employees, been threatened by the fire chief, heard the police on the scanner running the tags on my cars and visiting friends cars, been hassled by a neighbor that is obviously in the pants of the city manager...
This morning at 6am I had a knock on the door. It was a female police officer asking if the car on the street was mine. She tells me I have to move it so the 'big 18 wheeler that took a wrong turn' can get by. I get dressed move it to allow the driver room. Twenty minutes later I hear it again. Looking out I see it backing up four blocks with a police escort. Damn police woman lead it down a road it could not pass. I swear, its a circus here.

Sorry for the senseless rant. I just got to vent.

Paint your house bright pink. Thats what they did down the street from me. It seems two neighbors were fighting, one decided to paint their house bright pink to piss them off, it worked.

I filed charges only to find the police chief never submits them to the DA. Conversation with the DA he tells me he's going to "light a fire under his ass". That's about when some of the trouble started.
One of the little theifs was a son or reletive to the fire chief. When I mentioned this to him he physically lunged toward me. Was held back by two other firemen. I have a witness but this occured two yrs ago during a time when the big fire truck had to come put out my BBQ I had going in the back yard.
Yes, the neighbor smelled smoke and called the fire department.
I have been very tolerant 'till now. Heck, I don't even get mail here. Had them going thru my mail for a while. Guys at the local auto parts store new details about some of my business. How'd that happen??? Some mail was received opened, delayed... I still working on this one. Its not going to be pretty for someone.

I do pro sound and used to produce a music festival. Some of my company equipment was stolen a few yrs back by offspring of the inbreeders here. Word on the street lead me to the suspect. When I confronted him, he actually tried to trade me drugs for it. He had sold the stuff already.

I bought this house in 2000 to flip. Ended up staying here and putting some effort into this place thinking I might come out a little better off. I'm bailing on it now.
Last house I bought, in another town close by, had been condemed. I restored the 3200sq ft historical home and received an award by the city. The tax value quadrupled. They should be happy. This town here just doesn't have a clue how it works. I have no desire to improve things here now.
I broke ground at the my getting ready to build soon. We have a small cabin up there we can live in if needed. Any place but this hell hole.

I was thinking of the local School football team colors. Stripes across the front of the house. Go team, go! What could they say about that?

I can't imagine in a burg that small the city council would be that hard to access. My practice is to speak to each of them independantly and then confront them during an open session prior to a vote on a particular issue.

Its the 'good ol boy' system at work here.

Guys at the local auto parts said I should run for council. I told them I'm running alright. As fast as I can out of here.
