I think I've managed to scare my real estate agent. He seemed a bit shaken the last time I talked to him. I believe he's finally figured out what's going on.
You see, he seems confused that people keep looking at my house, expressing an interest, even entering into contracts, and then mysteriously disappearing. Last week though, two people with important names approached him.
One of the names has connections all the way to state government. They also run one of the local banks.
Now for those of you who aren't used to corrupt, third world, pest holes, let me explain.
1) All my financial transactions are instantly known. Not, my transactions at the bank run by the family member, but anything done locally. It sounds illegal, but try proving anything.
2) Every time someone looks at the house, I get inundated with telemarketer calls. Okay, so this one is just middle school idiot level.
3) This is the worrisome one. Every time an offer is made, my phone usually gets hacked. It works intermittently and makes all sorts of calls on its own. This is the one that brings visions of state level interference to mind, but again, try proving anything. It might just be some hackers out to get me and several years of coincidental timing.
4) Of course, an offer has to be made first, which usually entails a second visit. Except that most times, the second visit returns to a broken into house with dog droppings on the floor. The droppings are always new. How do they know how to time it? Obviously, myself, the realtor, and probably others are being watched that closely. Who has the kind of time to do that?
Let's look at the second name.
Just read my blog on the doctor and church deacon who get sent to jail for drug dealing. Name number two was one of the people who stood to benefit from the situation. Again, it might just be coincidence.
Honestly, it feels like I'm being driven into bankruptcy by the Sopranos, while the police from the state on down are all bought off. Of course, I might just be imagining things. That's the worst thing about this. Every single coincidence might point in the same direction, but at the end of the day, they are just that. Low level coincidences with no proof.
I suspect my realtor just felt it too.

Hacked
It looks like the contract fell through on that house I've been trying to get rid of for the past 3 years. How do I know? I still have a phone.
You see, every time a contract is placed on the house, my phone gets hacked. Phone calls and texts get lost. My phone calls people at random. Often emergency services. My icons get placed everywhere. My phone starts providing a wireless hotspot for everyone. It's very annoying. Worse, it really doesn't do much good to fix the problems, because they reappear as fast as I can fix them.
It seems someone with a degree of technical ability and the ability to gain more information on my activities than is good for me or even legal, really doesn't want me to sell the house.

Nothing to See Here or a Tangled Web
In my previous posts, I have raised questions about law and rural Kentucky. In this post, I revisit the issue.
People tend to think that drug dealing is the provenance of the trailer park crowd. Often, but not always. In the following diatribe, you can read about the high and mighty falling to the temptation of quick money.
You can read the official version by clicking on the link below.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdky/pr/clinton-county-doctor-sentenced-30-months-prison-illegally-prescribing-opioids
Let's see what the news isn't talking about. The doctor in question came from an old and respected family. He was also the deacon at a local church. He had a prosperous practice. He was a local landowner and church bigwig. Why would he become a drug dealer? It's pretty obvious that he did, but look at the numbers of drug sales involved. Why would someone in his position, with his income, risk everything for what amounted to penny ante, street dealer levels of profit? Greed? Maybe. He has lost his practice and his farm over this. Either way, it was a stupid move on his part.
The government also put the owner of the pharmacy who filled the prescriptions away. He was also from an old and wealthy family. There are two main drug stores in town and he owned and ran one of them.
As you can see, wealth and position are no guarantee.
You might be saying, don't deal drugs and you won't have a problem. Again, maybe.
Let's look at how this bust went down. The good doctor was reported by the county coroner for a suspicious number of opioid deaths among his patients. On the surface fair enough, but this coroner let's a lot of suspicious deaths occur without question. Are they just stupid? Can they not really notice anything unless it's on the government checklist, like opioids are now? Well, these are the hills, so that's a definite possibility.
After the report, the feds came in and cracked down. Again, fair enough. Except, that you would have expected them to extend the net a bit and see what else they could find. After all, they were already in the neighborhood. There are plenty of drugs around. Almost anyone they stopped on the street could have given them a good lead. Did they even ask or did they just arrest the people who were complained about? That's just curious.
Did the amount of drug trafficking decrease? No, it appears to have gone up. Did the feds not notice this?
Sorry, but this does not appear to have been an operation to clean up the hills. It appears to be the feds operating on behalf of the locals taking out unwanted competition. I could be wrong, but that would imply that the good doctor was the main problem in the county, which I find hard to believe.

Return to Stupid
I went back to my house in Albany the other day to clear some junk out. I had meant to bring a truck load of garbage to the dump, but that was not to be.
Since I don't have a pickup truck, the plan was to rent a U-Haul van to move the old furniture and construction debris, but that was not to be.
I've rented U-Haul vans before. The procedure isn't too complex. That is until you get to the hills. You see the local nobility thinks they should just sit back while everyone else does the work and then gives them money for the privilege. Consequently, I arrived at a deserted group of storage buildings to pick up the truck. The rental company told me to call when I arrived there. Silly me. I thought that meant they lived next door, and when I arrived, they'd come over in 5 or 10 minutes to hand over the vehicle. No such thing. When I called, they told me the key was in the back of the truck. Well, there was only one U-Haul truck so it wasn't too hard to find. Of course it was backed against the wall of a storage unit and the freezing rain the previous night had frozen the door shut. It soon became obvious that the door wasn't going to budge without some serious work. Added to the fact that I would have had to do said work with about 1 foot of free space, it did not seem like a good idea. After a few minutes of telling the rental agent that the door was stuck and receiving the same response of "the keys in the back", I told them to forget it. They then told me that they could come out in 3 days to fix the problem and I could get the truck then. Yeah, right.
So far, typical hillbilly efficiency.
Of course by this time I has attracted the attention of a neighbor's dog, who decided that I didn't belong there. Now I got to deal with a snapping, frothing at the mouth dog. Fortunately, I've dealt with such types before, so I managed to convince the dog that I was in charge, and we parted amicably with the dog wanting to play. Of course, I wasn't feeling too happy about hillbillies by this time.
Since I was in the area anyway and I had help coming, I figured that I should go to my house and at least put all the garbage in the barn.
As I approached my house, the neighbor from hell pulled into the left hand lane of the road to check his mail. Did he do it because he saw me coming, or was he just clueless? Who knows? Anyway, I came to a stop and waited for him to get his mail and drive on, but he refused to budge, so I had to drive around him. No big deal, but I was batting 1000 with the hillbillies this day. It was really annoying.
The spooky part came after I pulled into my driveway and was taking some tools out of my car. There was a lot of barking and when I looked up, there was the neighbor from hell driving slowly by and checking me out with another neighbor's dogs snapping at his tires.
Here's a picture of said neighbor watching me through binoculars. This happens to be a good day, but I've seen him stand outside and watch like this in the pouring rain for 45 minutes. Why 45 minutes? Because that was when I was done doing what I was doing, and staying there to see how long he'd stand there seemed pointless.
Why not call the law? You're looking at the law. Yes, Clinton County Kentucky made someone with a criminal record a deputy jailer. Not quite the same as a deputy sheriff to be sure, but still spooky in a small town when you have one behaving like this.
I was just lucky that I had someone over to help me move stuff or who knows what stories he would have made up. That's the lesson for today. Never go anywhere in Appalachia without a witness.
Those of you who get to move stuff out of your old house and take it to the dump. Can rent a truck to do so, and have a neighbor who is nice enough to help, count yourselves lucky. In other parts of the country, even throwing out old mattresses can get complicated.

Return to Clinton County Kentucky
My situation in Clinton county Kentucky seems to be getting worse. I'm simply not going to be allowed to sell the property. It all started when my real estate agent showed the property. I showed up the following weekend to find the house broken into and dog droppings all over the floor.
Of course there were no dogs. They'd been left in the house for a few days to mess it up right after the hillbillies saw someone look at the house, and then removed.
When I showed up to the house, the neighbors three dogs came over to visit and the trailer people all came to their doorways and glared at me. When I went into my house, I saw the droppings of said dogs. Now, if I did anything to the dogs, who were on my property, and obviously the perpetrators of the mess, I'd be in jail for animal cruelty. Of course, that's better than showing up when the dogs are in my house. Then I'd have half a dozen hillbillies calling the cops and claiming that I stole them. In case you hadn't guessed from my previous posts, there is no real law in Eastern Kentucky. The law just wants to keep their numbers up and protect their buddies, so I be in the wonderful position of proving the hillbillies wrong.
In any event, when the law showed up, they gave me their standard answer. You have bad neighbors, move everything with any worth off of the property, get some cameras and get us pictures of them breaking in, and then we can do something.
Can someone explain to me why I'm paying taxes? I'm obviously not getting any benefit for my money. And Eastern Kentucky wonders why they can't break the generational poverty cycle. News flash. When people aren't secure in their property unless they are actively guarding it, then you are going to end up with a poverty stricken area.

Noisy Neighbors
Last night was Halloween. A time of pumpkins and ghosts. It's also a time when my windows shake with the excessive bass of my neighbor's music system. When your windows are shaking from a building almost 1/4 mile away, you have to wonder about the eardrums and the respect for others that the originators of such music enjoy. This particular music wasn't so bad. It came from the local church and only lasted a couple of hours and they don't do it often. You have to wonder about Christian Rock turned up to that volume, but this is also the church that moves street signs to suit themselves, the church whose deacon was under investigation for narcotics peddling, and the church who bought their rec center with lottery winnings. Such is the Baptist religion.
Despite the title this blog is not about the music the occasion for it. Fall Festival. Yes, Fall Festival. No one here is allowed to use the words Halloween. That would be sacrilegious. When Christians tell you they don't want a theocracy, bear that in mind. Admittedly, the thought behind the church fall festival is good. Get the kids off the streets and give them something to do to keep them out of trouble. That's all well and good, and they are well intentioned. Unfortunately, that's where it all falls apart. They set up a church fair in their rec center and let anyone in free, feed them, and even give goody baskets to the kids.
My first year here, when I went with my kids it was a lot of fun, although I did have some explaining to do about the comic book that showed knights fighting dinosaurs, because everyone knows they existed at the same time. However, that's in the realm of amusing local tradition, not a problem. No the problem is that as Clinton county has become more and more a center for antisocial behavior, so to has the churches fall festival. It was bad enough when 18 year old jocks from the high school were sent through rides with 5 year old kids and no one seemed to care, but when the drug dealers stop off there to get fed and set up connections before the rest of their night, there's a problem. The amusing part is the place has cops there for security, and the druggies are operating in plain sight, but no one will say anything. I guess Christians don't like to judge. Or maybe they're involved in the trade. I really can't figure this place out.

Can you say corruption boys and girls....
Once again, I've heard someone say that it's common knowledge that my street is known as the go to place for your pharmaceutical needs. I used to think that this was odd, since one of the major churches in the area is right across the street. Well, I used to think that until one of their deacons got nabbed for giving an unnecessary narcotic prescription to an undercover officer. He's still allowed to practice until it's all sorted out, but he can't write prescriptions for narcotics. His office used to be full all the time. Now it's a ghost town. I guess the cops were right on this one.
But, back to my street...
Right before the recent election, a lot of signs went up on my street supporting Jim Guffey for sheriff of Clinton county. I thought this was odd because a lot of the houses with signs were the type of place you'd associate with the drug crowd. I didn't think much more about it until after the election in January 2015. Immediately, there were a large number of drug busts, and none since. Amazingly, none of the arrests were on this street. Also, amazingly, once the election and the drug busts occurred traffic and anti-social activity picked up on this street. Even more amazing, or maybe not, the new sheriff refuses to even put a presence into this area. It's almost like he eliminated the competition for his buddies. Is it just incompetence or is it time to use the c word.
Amusingly, the discussion threads about the sheriff that appear on Albany Topix also get pulled within 24 hours, just like those of the county clerk. It's nice to know they have the free time to police a discussion board to protect their good names.

No Gays or Discussion Allowed
Clinton County Kentucky is one of the 3 Kentucky counties refusing to give out marriage certificates since the Supreme Court okay'd gay marriage. In Rowan county, the county clerk has a lawsuit going. In Casey, the county government made a statement disagreeing with the county clerk's position. In Clinton county, no one has said anything and people are not allowed to discuss the issue. That's right, no discussion allowed. A guilty pleasure of many people in small towns is a site called topix, where people can gossip about things online. Clinton County's is here:
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/albany-ky
Since the Supreme Court decision, obviously, people have been wanting to post their views, but the posts about our county clerk are usually pulled within 24 hours. It seems that the Republican party in Clinton county has no use for dissenting opinion. Well, why not. They've effectively run this place like a third world pesthole of the haves and have nots for the last couple of centuries, why should they change now?
The amusing part about this, is how the Christians are coming out of the woodwork with prophecies of doom if same sex marriage is allowed. Think of the children. I'd be on their side if they could show me that their belief system had practical advantages, but I still remember how shocked I was on first arriving here when the school paperwork for my children never mentioned, mother, father, or parent. Simply, guardian. The reason being, there were so many children who had no idea who their father was and who were abandoned to live with grandparents or some other relative, that the words mother, father, and parent were considered offensive. Way to practice what you preach Appalachian Christians. I doubt a homosexual couple could do worse if they actually tried.

Corrupt Christians, part 2
Awhile ago, I saw a vehicle with official plates being misused. of course I reported it to the state. The state, as I expected, responded in a professional and timely matter. They usually do, Kentucky is generally a great place. The problem is, the vehicle didn't belong to them. it belonged to a neighboring county. That explains perfectly why the person in question thought it was perfectly okay to use a government owned vehicle as a privately owed one. To better illustrate the mindset in this county, you just have to know that they haven't updated their flood maps since the dam went in in the 1950's. Why would any county do that, you might ask. Not updating your flood maps would seriously hurt economic growth in the county. Yes, it does. It also means if you want to buy a house there, you need to go through one of the 2 locally owned banks. Outside banks will not give you a mortgage in a flood zone. So for 60 years, the people of the county have accepted a banking monopoly dictating the terms of home ownership with nary a whimper. Something tells me they wouldn't be too concerned with someone using a county owned vehicle as their personal one.

Corrupt Christians
I don't know whether to call it chutzpah, ignorance, or criminal behavior. One thing you can say is that Appalachian folks tend to do whatever they want, whenever they want. I keep pointing this out to them as the major reason why this area is economically disadvantaged. They don't buy it. They still think it's because there aren't enough roads, or because enough money hasn't been funneled into the area.
I first noticed the state provided pickup truck because of the fish symbol on the back. You don't usually see a state license plate and a Christian symbol on the same vehicle. To be honest, I really wouldn't have gotten too annoyed with that. I just would have considered it rude behavior. What really caught my attention was when the driver turned off the main road, showing the side of his vehicle on which were displayed the magnetic signs advertising his business. It must be nice to have the taxpayers underwrite your business expenses.
Of course this particular morally upright Christian probably feels secure in his behavior. He's connected at work and in church. If anyone complains about him and he gets in trouble, depending on how highly placed he is, if the complainant works in the county, their job will be in jeopardy, if they don't then there's a good chance that future travel through the county will result in an undue level of police attention.
Can you say corrupt, third world, hell hole? And yet they wonder why they can't get businesses to move here.

Moving Traffic Signs
Did you know that it's legal to rearrange traffic signs in Kentucky? Well apparently it is if you're Stony Point Baptist Church in Albany, Kentucky.
You can just make out the T intersection about 15 yards down the road. The sign used to be at the intersection, but when the church paved their parking lot, they moved the sign to the edge of their new parking lot. I guess it's a lot more convenient for the for the parishioners. They get to leave church unimpeded, something all good Baptists seem to be in a hurry to do, and they don't have to worry about oncoming traffic. It kind of messes things up for everyone else though. You'd think someone would fine them, or at least make them move the sign, but Appalachia is a theocracy in many respects. No one would think of questioning a church here. Hell awaits those who do.
Even this would be livable if anyone here knew how to drive. I always thought it was common knowledge that at a T intersection with no signs, the person entering had to yield. Everyone here that I've asked has told me that the person who gets there first has right of way. So if the person driving down this road sees oncoming traffic, they floor it, so that they can be in the right. I'm surprised that no one has been killed. I'm annoyed with the church for thinking they can do whatever they want. I'm appalled at the authorities for not doing anything because it's all about politics.
You can just make out the T intersection about 15 yards down the road. The sign used to be at the intersection, but when the church paved their parking lot, they moved the sign to the edge of their new parking lot. I guess it's a lot more convenient for the for the parishioners.
