By Roger the Scanner Guy
When I was young and in grade school I used to be really good at spelling (Believe it or SNOT). I used to write words down over and over again and memorize how to spell them. I almost qualified for the Spelling Bee, I was a real Pro. I was an average student though, I dealt with a lot of crap being an abused kid and bullied too, though I could spell and I loved to read, I hated everything else and spent some time in Special Ed. Just about the time I started to open up emotionally, getting better grades in all my classes, I got Encephalitis-Meningitis, that pretty much put me in the gutter. I had worked very hard in school and had qualified for a scholarship through my writing. I wanted to go to Indiana University, my life was about to take a turn for the better, then I got sick. I was very ill and went into a coma for a bit. My Mom was told I wasn’t going to make it then one day I woke up, she was told then I would never be the same as I was before. I wasn’t for a long time. I could not tie my shoes or dress myself for a bit. In school I would just sit and stare, I was pretty much done. I quit school and tried to work but I really could not do much more than push a broom. I wrote a lot of crappy poetry as I did before I was ill, and the funny thing is I thought my spelling was fine, it wasn’t. It took all these years later until I started writing for Edhat to find out that I am severely dyslexic.
Through the years I got better at working and got better jobs, I also got better at drinking. As far as retaining knowledge, doing math, or any other Educational crap, it did not work. I never knew that I was dyslexic until a couple years after coming to Edhat. Funny huh? It was kinda like after all the crap I went through as a kid. I was finally going to have a life then God pulled the rug out from under me and said “Just Kidding!” Anyway I want you all to know why my Spelling SUCKS. Most of the time I think it’s ok though it’s not. I want to Thank some of you for helping me out by correcting me except for one beloved street name and everyone knows what street that is. One of the Good Folks next door told me to look behind their property in the 200 Block of South Milpas and I did and saw one of the worst Encampments I have ever seen, a disaster waiting to happen back there. I hope the property is on schedule for clean up soon, there is way too much junk back there including piles of clothing and a lot of dry brush. I would not doubt if there were a couple of stiffs under all the junk back there. There are also holes cut in the fence for easy access. I don’t think the place has been cleared out for 10 years. I don’t understand those who don’t leave the land how they found it. Instead they leave garbage all over the place that to me is Illegal Camping…That’s my MILPAS UNDERPANTS and I’m sticking to them.

Roger, Besides our coffee shops, churches, supermarkets, parks and all the other areas that normal people have taken for granted to be safe places to conduct our affairs and live our lives, what other places are available to unreformed, unrepentant homeless criminals and the criminally minded who are now on their own recognizance and still committing crimes (reported or not) and engaging in general mischief in public places?
A panhandler in an elevator . Nice and intimate ! Hospital and Mall.
The Moon! What a great idea!!! We can establish it as a Miscreant Base for all “undesirables” much like Britain did Australia, Tasmania and the other colonies. These eventually became thriving, industrious countries under the guiding hands of Great Britain, and at great profit!!! Never mind the opium sales and slavery trade, and the indentured servitude and human trafficking. The price of business is worth it at any cost!!! Roger, I think you should be our First Ambassador to the Moon!!!
All Hail Roger the First! Pip Pip! Damn, this is some good coffee…..
