Something about an estimated 6,000 jobs that would be created at the golf resort. ‘Blighted’ was the word used as a rationale for developing the “27-acre parcel on Hot Springs Boulevard,” as mentioned in Bill Hudson’s editorials about “the corrupt streets of Pagosa Springs.”įunnily enough, as they say in the UK, there was something else at the back of my mind, as I was reading online about the Trump golf course. Then, I realized why that word - ‘blighted’ - had come to mind. But it was other words the Trump Organization had used that were quoted in The Independent, a UK online site: “Pig sty,” those were the words. I thought I’d heard the word “blighted” mentioned in the story, with regard to that small parcel of land. I recalled something in the news on TV, about a lady in her 90s, and her son, who reside on a parcel of land near a Trump Organization golf course, out there in Scotland. The film documents the construction of a luxury golf course on a beach in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, by developer Donald Trump and the subsequent struggles between the locals, Donald Trump, and Scottish legal and governmental authorities.” I had to go online for more, with regard to that brief note, and the first thing I read was: “ You’ve Been Trumped is a 2011 documentary by British filmmaker Anthony Baxter. Here’s Note #4: “Anthony Baxter… about Turnberry… the elderly lady’s farm is blighted?” “Where does that put things? Us? In the crapper?” I was wondering about that, as I was typing Note #2 on the phone.Īnd then, this, in Note #3: “The ‘Primary role of gov is to protect people’. And recalling something else, as well, about White House staff, evidently, attempting to keep the president out of the decision-making process. So, bear with me, here’s Note #1: “He’s pulling stuff out of his…” (I’ll leave the last word, in the incomplete sentence, to your imagination.) I was recalling several things the nation’s current president has been saying recently. I’m writing ‘gov,’ for example, rather than ‘government,’ and ‘ur’ for ‘your’ or ‘you’re.’ That’s something I’m learning to do, I’m abbreviating words, so I won’t go nuts, laboriously attempting to type big words. You’ll see that sentences, in the notes, are incomplete, the grammar isn’t so good, and some words are in high-tech shorthand. Here’s some of the stuff I tapped out, the other day. Dictating notes would be easier, but talking out loud might wake the rest of our household, so I tap, slowly and inefficiently, on that incredibly small keyboard, quietly grumbling. Nowadays, I’m mostly tapping notes on a smart phone. Jotting notes on paper, in this high-tech age, seems passé. Around 4 or 5 in the morning, I’m, usually, awake and jotting notes about things I want to keep in mind.
