State of the Union

The last few days, have hit home very hard on me.  A discussion about posts I’ve made in the past concerning the situation many families and individuals find themselves:  Homelessness

Specially, with the economic downturn and the amount of people living on the streets.  Homelessness, hunger, children, and the state of our land of opportunity:  Community

Last night this was all brought home with an expose on 60 Minutes TV News Show.  It was a story about people living in automobiles with children on the streets:  Click to watch: Hard Times Generation: Families living in cars

Then this morning, another expose on a very similar subject on hunger in America:  How Walmart staffs up when food stamp balances reset

Now, I know a majority of Americans are highly educated, employed and hard working folks.  Nonetheless, we have many who are struggling to get by.  To put a roof over their families and food on the table.

How many food banks, church organizations, private charitable organizations are doing the best they can to provide support for those who really need their services such as:  Feeding America: Hunger-Relief Charity | FeedingAmerica.org

I know there is so many more I could list but would take pages to post.  The point is, I’m worried about the future for my fellow Americans.  Not the ones who have money, but the ones who don’t.

HP Should Be Ashamed

The live cam and feeders will not be on until we get to another park.  We received a cease & desist order on feeding the wild life and birds while we are in this  Pioneer RV Park, in Phoenix Arizona.  The note from the RV staff said they had received several complaints.  Before we got the notice from the management of the park, the neighbor behind us yelled out his back door, to quit feeding the birds, because they were shitting everywhere.  So as of now there is no more bird seed to put out and the live cam will be down.  As I walk around this beautiful park and see all the others who have bird feeders out, I wonder if they too have to quit feeding the birds.   I suggest not staying here if your looking for a RV park that is people or animal friendly.  You can bet, we won’t ever stay here again.
