Another dead snake!
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2016 4:19 pm
Yesterday I was driving a family member to the airport. As I came over a hill I immediately noticed a very large snake on the passenger side in the road way. Because there were other people besides me in the vehicle I chose not to swerve. That decision was based on drivers training rules from the summer of 1983. Next I heard a small pop kind of noise and my wife informed me that I had indeed ran over a snake. In a less than angry and slightly irritated voice I exclaimed to my wife " I can't avoid every snake that comes across my path. " Sad to say, that snake is no longer with us.
So who cares? wait, there's more. I have to go on record as saying that 1. I personally do not have anything against snakes. 2. I have never ever caused harm to a snake or killed one for the sake of killing it. 3. I have personally allowed snakes to come and go as they please on our property because I believe that if they are not doing me or anyone from our camp any harm I cannot justify wasting any time or energy on them. With that being said I must add that how other people treat / deal with their snakes is their business. (I have heard some very creative ways of dealing with snakes on the island.)
So what is it exactly that I am trying to get across to the whole island? My reason for existence is to help all of my brothers and sisters that are willing to help me. My goal is to live peacefully here at my current address and to promote a spirit of self sufficiency and stability. Our doors are always open to anyone that expresses a sincere desire to help themselves and others no matter what your last name is except for John Fiegan and James R Latta. I have to publicly call you out by name for reasons you will soon learn of. This is a result of yesterdays yearly Pof SJ meeting at the Peaine township hall. John exhibited a total lack of self control when one member of the audience suggested that agents attempting to gather information should identify themselves with some sort of photo i.d. or possibly a sticker on their vehicle. Later in the same meeting James R Latta informed everyone in the room that Board members from the Port of St James Authority movement do not need wear a badge or give notice to the land owner before coming on to your property during regular business hours.
Earlier this morning I called the Michigan State police and the Charlevoix County Sheriffs department and spoke specifically with a dispatcher who encouraged me to contact the local Sheriff after hearing that P of S.J. board members are so far distracted from reality that they would make a totally insane statement as what was made. I use the word insane because I have been reassured that The Michigan Penal Code Act 328 1931 (I strongly urge all of the "board members" to read and understand this law) It says that if I express the fact that I do not want John Fiegan, James R Latta on my property all I have to do is say so. Which I did. I'll say it again. John Fiegan and James R Latta DO NOT attempt to trespass at 38905 Island Woods N. Beaver Island Mi, 49782
A sign is currently being fabricated to give these two guys an additional chance to understand that Michigan trespass laws as well as Stand Your Ground laws will be enforced at our dwelling.
Last but not least, let it be known that I do not believe in the "covenant" I consider it longstanding fraud that a few continue to attempt to perpetuate. I agree with all who have discontinued paying their dues. Until the board agrees to take into consideration the needs and desires of the members (all of them) I find it hard to believe that this supposed group exists for any other reason than to take your money. I could go on but as you will see everything I have said will be written off as a lie. So I am happy with my intentions being made public and am looking forward to building stronger relationships with some of the kindest people on my favorite island!
