The Health Department has arrived. Part 2

Now that Satan {who keeps the 10 Commandments in her front yard} has taken to making personal appearances at the Health Department to complain about 'shit', I must show you all of the shit.

Not on Satans property.

In Part 1, I shared a photo of one of the reported "health problems".  Included in all these photos is a yard-stick for accurately scaling and assessing the size and scope of this "health problem".

One point worth noting is dry animal dung is currently used as a fuel in many countries around the world. It is a source of Green fuel used by more than two billion people and has eons of history as a cooking fuel.  In modern day Iceland, sheep dung is used as a fuel for smoking meat because of the "special flavor" produced.  It makes good building material and paper too!

Can you see the poop?

Trying to understand the "health problem" I see the dung piles are NOT on Satans property, not leaching toxins across the fence and killing her grass, there is no odor, nothing I can call excessive. Other than her bullying of neighbors.  That is Really Excessive!

So precisely "WHY" has the Health Department scheduled to visit me for a third time today?  I genuinely do not believe they see this as a health concern and have chosen to intimidate me into raking road-apples rather than stand up to Satan telling her there is no real health problem and she should shut up about it.

Mountains of road-apples

To be fair, this is livestock manure.  The location is off of Satans property and at least 120 feet from her house. There is no oder, the field is regularly maintained (raked, irrigated, mowed, fallen tree branches chipped, toxic weeds pulled) and used for periodic grazing.  Problems?  I do not think so.

We know, from the title of this blog, why she calls the city to complain but it's difficult to determine precisely why the city is giving credence to her complaints.

Heaven Forbid!  A donkey pooped in the pasture!

The Health Department has arrived. Part 1

Ah yes, I have been politely contacted (in person) by a Health Department employee.  It seems that Sherry "Satan" Miller has been raising Hell about our miniature donkeys AGAIN.  Must be an antagonistic territorial dispute between our Ass and her.

According to the lady from the Health Department, Satan has gone so far as to appear at the Health Department in person to complain about this problem with donkey poop next to the fence.  Not on her property, not coming through the fence, but NEAR the fence.

I've been asked to rake it away.  Seems reasonable unless you know about Satan harassing neighbors while they correct issues, photographing us when we do maintenance on our vehicle, move the irrigation hose, pull weeds, feed animals, or merely stand in our own yard.  So I hesitated.  For days...

Health hazard or fertilizer?

Not my most mature decision.  However, I am somewhat bitter over those years when I removed the snow from Satans driveway for free.  I am bitter; after I put the skirting on her manufactured home, enclosed her front porch, built steps off the porch for her tiny (noisy) dogs, moved large piles of stones to fill a gaping hole on her property, AND helped evict the meth-heads who moved into her home; that she sends the cops to my home at every imagined opportunity.  Now the prospect of her taunting me as I rake around a pile of road apples is not stimulating me to act.

One Bad Apple

Our Kennewick, Washington neighborhood has, with one great exception, been a quiet place for all the years I have lived here.  Neighbors know each other and help, whether it be with lifting something heavy into the back of a truck or searching for a missing child, is always next door or across the street.  It's a great place to live :)

One notable exception being the woman we refer to as "Satan".

Satan, in spite of carrying heavy stones or tossing logs while doing yard work, has managed to deceive enough people in our government to qualify for full disability citing a 'bad back'.  Now, with no financial worries she gets bored and uses her telephone to harass, attack and generally cause problems for those living close to her.

The disabled Sherry "Satan" Miller thrown a log while balanced on top of her firewood pile.

A few weeks ago,  some of us in the neighbor hood applied for and later received a detailed 18 month account of Satans various complaints against us.  In that 18 months, she contacted the police, fire department, code enforcement, health department, burn line, irrigation district and possibly other "authorities" no less than 60 times.  Some of these reports were for genuine code violations like 12" tall weeds in the back field.  Others were outright lies as in when she reported a neighbor for an illegal fire during a burn ban.  That time I was eye witness to the neighbor NOT having a fire and Satan having a fire.

But the harassment does not end there.  After reporting one of us for a terrible infraction, like 12" tall weeds, she will taunt the neighbor by calling out over the fence, "I see it does work to report you."

How often does this happen?  Well, we all know the code enforcement lady by her first name and the cops are at her house so often that a rumor has started that she is sleeping with a cop.
