Always after someone :(

For as long as Americans have had cars, Dads have repaired their car on the weekend.  It's a respected American Tradition that goes back to the time of our Great Grandfathers!

Why then does having the hood of an automobile open generate such intense anger in Sheri Miller?  She just cannot stand to see a man working on a car!!!  We've all seen her taking pictures of her neighbor changing the oil in his driveway.  Another neighbor was photographed when he helped a friend with their car.  I wouldn't be surprised to learn she had photos of me under the hood of my truck.  What has broken in this woman's mind to make her think it is her job to police her neighbors and report their activities to the city of Kennewick?

This past Sunday, Sheri marched (always boldly) across the street to use her "Stinkeye" on the neighbor as he worked in his driveway. She does this often.  Some times she threatens the neighbor saying, "You'd better have a license to work on cars!"  More often than not, she takes pictures and sends them to Kennewick Code Enforcement.  The city sends an employee to investigate, no violation is found, tax dollars are wasted.

What a terribly hateful piece of humanity she has become :(  We all need to be rescued from Old Stinkeye.

Testing Limits

Remember teaching that new puppy to stay out of your kitchen?  At first they just didn't under stand,,,  Then after you chased them out a few times, the puppy figured out that they shouldn't go into the kitchen while you were in there.  "Not enough room in this kitchen for both of us!"

That worked until the pooch chewed the rubber door gasket out of your $1600 refrigerator that you bought after saving the egg money for 2 years.  So you had to go "Dog Whisperer" on them and use the positive and negative reinforcement system.  It looked promising :)

Just when you thought you had succeeded, you notice your puppy putting one paw across the line between the living room and the kitchen.  "Pooch" is testing the limits of your resolve to keep them out of the kitchen.  How serious are you?  It's hard not to laugh even when you know that for the good of your relationships, they must be chased away.  With a broom.  While growling and stomping at them.  LOL

We appear to be reaching that moment with Stinkeye.  She's been told by the judge to stop making frivolous calls against her neighbors.  She is restrained from contacting us, coming on to our property, photographing us or coming to our work place.  Has to stay 100 feet away from me at all times too.

The only exception to this is when she needs to access the irrigation box on property owned by a neighbor we share.  In February of 2013 I told Ms. Miller {stinkeye} that I was leasing the property and she would need to use the "big gate" {which is about 10 feet wide} to access the irrigation box.

During our anti-harassment suit, the judge told her she would have to use the "big gate" just like everyone else.  At the same time, the property owner and I each said that she was welcome to use the same gate all of us use.  But she wants Me to put in a special gate for Her at my Expense using my Labor.  {slavery}  That's not happening.

Today irrigation water reached the irrigation box and apparently caused some kind of problem for Stinkeye. So much of a problem that she called Kennewick Police Department to escort her into the field and turn off the valve supplying water to her property.  Lessor, property owner, and Judge all gave her permission to go there but she opted to call the cops?  Just like Pooch, Stinkeye is testing the limits.  Just like Pooch, it's going to get her into trouble.

How do I know she is testing us?  Because last month, we received a letter from her lawyer stating that she had gone to the expense of putting a valve on her side of the field fence.  If that was true, couldn't she use that valve to remedy any flooding???  Has she forgotten about the valve?  Was she less than truthful with her lawyer?  Or is she blatantly testing the limits of a court order and the Kennewick Police Department?  Does she want to see if we went through all that time, stress and expense because we meant it when we asked the court to protect us from her harassment?  Does she want to test the Judge who signed her anti-harassment order?

{edit: in the spring of 2016 Sheri Stinkeye Miller had her son travel from Moses Lake, WA for the purpose of removing the irrigation valve on her side of the field fence}

After Effects?

So...  While some things are much more relaxed in our neighborhood, there are lingering after effects.  The affects of years of surveillance, harassment, bullying and haunting are not cured with a piece of paper signed by a judge.  

I now feel better about going into the pasture to take care of noxious weeds knowing that if 'she' harasses me there, it's a violation of the anti-harassment order.  I do my work when I want to without worrying about her calling the cops again and again.  However, I am still held back by a symptom some might call "harassment PTSD."

If I happen to see 'her' driving away, I now see this as an opportunity to walk to the mailbox un-harassed.  Otherwise, the mail might sit there for hours longer. :(

When I work in my wood carving studio, I still keep one eye on the gate to avoid being shot or assaulted by the very angry (and even more insane) Ms Miller...  I now believe myself to be in even greater danger than before!  And I don't like being out there without my dogs to alert me to visitors.

I have even felt concern over walking down the street to the neighbor's house since this has been one of her favorite opportunities to harass me.

When does it end?
