DP Report (07/08/11): Doin' the NV Shuffle


  1. Dedicated to JoB.

    There was adventure afoot at Nickelsville yesterday, my friends. Naturally, your humble correspndent was there to document it . . .

    Figure 1: The Dance Begins


     
    Members of the City Council arrive in camp, with media circus in tow.

    After signing in at the front desk, Council members Bagshaw, Licata, Rasmussen, and Clark are welcomed by an official NV delegation and given a quick tour of the kitchen facilities, the donation station, and the garden.
     

    Relations among the Council members seemed cordial enough to me. There were few scuffles to speak of; eye gouging was minimal. Yet for some reason they were almost immediately sent to see an arbitrator.
     

    Figure 2: The Arbitrator Will See You Now

    The Arbitrator understands how you feel. Really he does.

    Why don't you just have seat over there? The Pet Coordinator will be with you soon.
     

    Figure 3: The Pet Coordinator

    The Pet Coordinator has just two words for you, City Council:

      Sit! Stay!
     

    Goooood Council! Here's your treat . . .
     


     

    Figure 4: Shackin' Up, Shackin' Up Is All They Wanna Do

    If NV can put up a few more shacks like this, and get some rudimentary plumbing and wiring to the camp, everything'll be cool.

    The City Council understands. It was young and in love once, too . . .

    Why, this is the biggest scandal since DP broke the Comfort Ladies in Boxes story!

    ************************************************************************************

    Stay tuned for a more serious side of the Council's visit to Nickelsville. (Serious by DP standards anyway.)

    Are the goats someone's pets? Or were they donated/being rented for clearing purposes? Just curious. I need to get me a couple of ruminants for a week or two...

  3. The goats were purchased for the camp.

    Their main purpose is to keep the vegetation down.

  4. DP..
    thanks for putting up the pics...
    I agree that the council meeting was a bit of a media circus...
    but fail to find humor in the shacks.

  6. Hadn't seen this previously. It wasn't much of a media circus. Only ones I noted were me, two crewmembers from the Seattle Channel (who are required to roll video on council hearings of all sorts), and a KOMO photographer. Someone from Real Change News, which is an award-winning publication. I frankly was disappointed that more local media didn't bother to show up. But not surprised.
