SINGER VAN MORRISON:  TARGETED INDIVIDUAL?

Northern irish singer-songwriter, Van Morrison is receiving a lot of attention these days for one of the songs on his latest album, "Latest Record Project, Vol. 1" where he describes himself as a "targeted individual."  We have yet to hear him speak publicly on this topic, however, you may hear more about this subject in the near future. 

It is song number 8 on the album and here is brief excerpt from the lyrics and a link to an article about the album from the arts and media magazine, Variety. 

From "Latest Record Project, Vol. 1"

8. “Four judges screwed me over”

"I’m a targeted individual.
Got to get to the bottom of who’s pulling the strings…"

UPDATE:  SADAN HE'S B-A-A-A-A-A-AK......

After last week's article about Sadan who a few of us concluded had passed away recently, after a brief stay at a local hospital, I received a text from the Executive Director of the Allen Institute for Human Rights, Mr. Frank Allen who is asserting that Sadan is actually "not dead."

According to his research, Sadan's middle name is not Perry, but Caprice and his birthday was not February 8, but February 2 as stated on the obituary at the link provided in last week's newsletter.

Well, could there be another Jerome Howell born in the area where he lives a few days after the one we know? Well, I guess we'll know if he shows up again at our call.  Maybe he will come back soon and clear this up himself.  Hey, Sadan....  

LATEST TI SHOOTING: EVERTON BROWN IN BALTIMORE, MD

There was a shooting lately in Baltimore by someone who appears to have been targeted. He was not someone familiar to me and no one that I've talked to thus far.  Here is an article from the Baltimore Sun that describes what happened:

THE MURDER OF JEFF MURRAY

Many of us in the community knew Jeff Murray. He has been with us for many years.  We received the news on Monday night during our conference call that he had been gunned down by police the previous day around 11 am on  Sunday morning. 

Jeff has been a part of our community for close to 15 years and was known to be somewhat of a hothead. This incident may have been something contrived by the perps - as are most incidents of this nature - however, on the bright side, he is no longer suffering as a targeted individual. May he finally be at peace. 

Here is an article from the Seattle Times that presents the official version of what happened:

UPDATES FROM CARL'S RV PARK - Spots still open!

Hello to all,  

We are slowly still growing. We are looking for new residents. We still have an RV and a half to renovate, then we get to the laundry building.

Things are very quiet here at the park, which is good. Some people are so happy that  it  is.

I am still looking for an expieremced finish Carpenter .... to whom I  will offer reduced  rent and  whatever type of arrangement we settle on.

Feel free to email with questions and availability 

God bless,
Carl Staley
luv2ride71@msn.com

CARL'S DESCRIPTION: 

"I would welcome other Ti s to Texas if they want to live near other ‘Tis. I have room for up to six Ti s who don’t mind living in a camper of their own. I am basically charging them lot rent of $399/ month for utilities - water sewer etc. if you have your own camper.  $599/ month if you want to rent one.

The property is isolated and in the country.... 15 miles away to two different cities ...1 hour from ocean or San Antonio. No buses or public transportation. But it’s quiet here and I am easy going as well.

Drama people not needed. Everyone should be easy going and calm we could meet once a week and talk to ease some of our issues as it’s always the isolation game with our perps not wanting us to talk to anyone but them.

For more information, please contact:
