I have a question: Did anyone announce, before they took up residence somewhere, that they were going to and where? I was under the impression that everything here was free, as long as it didn't belong to someone else first.

I don't think it's too much to ask to let people know that a spot is being permanently occupied, if only to keep others from jumping to the wrong conclusions or getting nosy. It may not be something required, but it is polite.

Mr. Bohannon has had the decency to let us know he's using that bit of parkland, let's not make mountains out of molehills over the information.

I think if the person is up to letting other people know, then great. But it shouldn't be something expected, especially when no one else has done it. Ever. Not even when they're taking storefronts for whatever.

It just irritates me that people act like he's committing some crime against humanity. It makes me want to sleep in the park, naked, just to piss people off.

	Storefronts are one thing, parks are another. I get what you're saying, Maryanne, but little Izzy brought up a valid concern from her point of view. I don't see where anyone outside of the mystery woman thought he was committing a crime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'd understand a problem if these areas weren't big enough for him to live there and other people to do whatever. But all the places that are common areas are big enough for someone to camp out if they want, or need, to. Hell even the pub has a few rooms over it. Mitchell uses them for storage, but I know of one that even has a matress on the floor.

Your granddaughter doesn't seem to keen on sharing it.

	She doesn't, does she? I've been getting that impression too. I think she's seeing it as a fairness issue, and a fairly black and white one. The area near campsite is off limits for her unless her mother says otherwise, and it's likely to be a long term occupation. it's a small piece of the park, but she's seeing it as possibly the first of many.

	I'd understand if it was the only park on the island, and if it was a small park. But it's not. She has to share the space with the memorial, and the lake, and other things. I hate to say it Izzy, but she reminds me of Angelica Pickles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

None of those other things have people living in them, but I do take your point.

I wouldn't go that far. From what I've seen so far she's a very sweet girl, Rhiannon and her partner were doing a good job with her. She's just going to have to adjust to Bohannon having a small piece of the park. I've invited him to Thanksgiving dinner, hopefully getting to know him a little will take the 'unfairness' out of the situation for her.

The way I see it: If he's living in the park then his scent is bound to be in it day and night. Which keeps other, harder to control, things out. People tend to forget that we're out numbered by wild animals about ten to one.

Even Angelica was sweet to the adults when she wanted to get her way, it was Tommy and company she was mean to.

Thanks for doing that. I wanted to but it's wild kingdom over here with babies randomly deciding it's naked time. And when one does it, most of the rest of them do it to.
