blm ticket cash cow

Post by tomboo » Thu Jan 07, 2010 1:31 pm

well, got my notice to appear in Reno on the 21st for my ticket finally on Dec. 23rd (merry christmas). I was written up on Monday afternoon when everyone was packed up & leaving. after putting my burnable junk on a burn pile (legal) i drove out a few yards to let the wind blow thru my van & bang out some dust when a Bureau of livestock & mining ranger comes zooming up & tells me i'm in a restricted area, well shit, i thought it was ok by then, my mistake.. i'll clear out..no..his "boss" wants me written up ($125 please , just mail in the provided envelope). then he says "well ,since i wrote a ticket I guess you can stay out here if you want." really..nice. this was my 10th burn, and i'm a big boy & can take a spanking as well as the next guy i guess. make your own conclusions. also, nowhere in their notices do they mention how to contest this other than to take the trip to reno..oh...i'll be there to bitch, but i know what's gonna happen. not to fly the pissed of viet vet's flag, BUT what the hell did i put my neck on the line for?? some of us are talking up an anti burn camp out on the playa beyond the exclusionary zone (unorganized of course), i'll pay the daily rate to come & go . fuck 'em!

There already is a small contingent of losers that do just that.

Feel free to join them.

I think what OEDick is trying to say...dont bite your head off to spite your shaft!

Wanna go camp on the "outside" of the city...just to prove a point.


Who, are you trying to prove said point TOO??????

just venting out ...don't like being a sheep..it's not all about wearing fuzzy playa fashion & techno like a lot of the recent attendees. a little participation in in making a statement to throw a monkey wrench into the B L M 's machine, ya know. ( with a tip o'the hat a Ed. Abbey)

yup!

On the way to the museum, Tom Boo threw a cupcake at Lisa Laffy on the bus, making Mrs. Magilacutty cancel the trip all together...the bus driver turned around, and now none of us got to see the giant dinosaurs!



Tom didnt have any friends at school after that stunt!

The Secretary of the Interior has thrown a much bigger wrench into the BLM's machinery than that.
Enviromental documents required for more oil and gas leases.

So, yeah, holding your breath till you turn blue. Good statement.
