Here in Kern county the June voting will be for a new county lawman, and
today I get a call by a guy working the campain trail for him. We where
talking and I told him who I was, it turned out I was talking to the Father
of that guy who's part owner of FF, the one I don't get along with. And
guess what??? After talking with him, he's on MY side!

ONLY while talking to you, and as soon as your back it turned (A knife).
Politics is all the same!

Sadly you are probably right. Even if the guy is interested,
it is his son, and starlord is not.

But there is always hope

I would love to, but dont think your neighbors would
like the use of firearms.

If it makes ya feel better, my 22 250 has done a real
number on quite a few of these critters in the past
(they see at distance extremely well tho)

I cannot understand why there is bad blood between you and the Fosters
Freeze guy.
By doing astronomy outreach at this store, you are attracting business
to it.

I have done this at a boba teahouse in OC, and they gave me free
drinks...
When people came to look through my telecope, I made a suggestion that
they get a refreshing drink at the teahouse. It worked....

For the longest time nothing was ever said to me, it wasn't until the local
vets group took over the corner one night (I had already set up) to show
support for GB's war, I moved down the sidewalk a bit as I didn't want to
have their PA system blowing my ear drums away. That's when his wife (who
I've found out is 1/4th owner) first tried to make me go away and called the
cops the first time.

Needless to say, it didn't work, I stayed there. Nothing more happened until
the following spring, that's when HE was having his yearly BBQ on the public
sidewalk and he tryed the same thing, calling the cops, which as before,
didn't work. In the mean time I'd talked to other "Higher Ups" of the
Rosamond Powers that be, and they all have the same opion of him and it's
not a good one. I also was able to get comformation from the Surviser for
this area up in Bakersfied that the sidewalk is Public Access Land and as
long as I am not 1. Blocking the whole sidewalk, 2. Selling anything without
a permit, 3. Am not causing a traffic jam on the street, that I am good to
go. In fact,, in the almost 8 years I've been doing this here, I've used the
payphones to report one car crash and one car vs kid in the street. I've had
the local cops stop and take a look at the planets, even have had two CHP's
stop and have a look see.

From what he's said and from what others have said, 1st, I don't pay any
rent to him for the use of the sidewalk and that is a killer as he thinks he
OWNS the public sidewalk.

That kind of person I've had to deal with before, not for astronomy but for
other things, and they are not an easy type to deal with.

Oh, BTW, his full name: Roger A. Hansley.
