GALIMATIAS : PSYCHOLOGY OF RELIGION - Thursday November 3rd, 2016

Citations for galimatias

I have seen this letter in which you tell me there is so much galimatias, and I assure you   that I have not found any at all. On the contrary, I find everything plainly expressed …George Eliot, "A Woman in France: Madame de Sablé," The Westminster Review, January and April,1854

Statisticians know that merging two approximations does not produce precision;rather, it   produces galimatias.Gregg Easterbrook, "Warming Earth, Heated Rhetoric," New York Times, June 14, 2000

Hello Officer Housworth,

Have twenty-seven signs up and ready/waiting  for another round of citations should Code Enforcement decide to pay my property a visit today.  If you will send a text ahead of time letting me know your approximate time of arrival, I will try and be sure to be on the lookout for you so we don't miss each other this time.

By the way, I'm curious.  

Last Thursday, early afternoon, I'd walked down to the convenient  store on the corner of Mason Mill and Clairmont.  I returned finding my "FUCK THE LORAX" sign had gone missing.  

My question is:

Because someone would have been able grabbing this sign without stepping off the sidewalk, in other words, within ten feet of their right-of-way while trespassing through my property with their opinion of me; does this, or does this not still count as petty larceny?

Also, had the removal of this sign from my property taken place same day, but after having already been written up for this sign being in violation(s) of DeKalb County Code Ordinances; am I still held accountable for this same sign having violated DeKalb County Code Ordinances?

Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!

Take it up with the judge.

Sincerely yours,

James E. Avery, DVM

P.S.  This is the third time signs have gone missing broad daylight; second set of replacement sock monkeys.  I absolutely refuse to believe no one living this neighborhood witnessed these petite larceny misdemeanor crimes against me.  

Yet, an email of mine violating a restraining order against me by former neighbors of mine once living in the house directly across the street from mine landed me on the fifth floor (felony floor) of DeKalb County Jail; aggravated stalking.

Hello Officer Housworth,

The following link is to my blog where I have uploaded pictures taken of today's sign displayed my front yard.  Believe there were a total of twenty-seven today.

FIRST YOU MAKE A STONE OF YOUR HEART: MURDER BY NUMBER - Wednesday Nov. 2n...

I've decided to help my neighbors document my violations.

Sincerely yours,

James E. Avery, DVM

P.S.

You and the rest of DeKalb County's Code Enforcement Division could at least make the best of a bad situation by sharing with me your thoughts of my signs.  Truly, this would be the just way of making these signs disappear.  However if you and my neighbors are unable defending your viewpoints, then only you know how to solve this problem.

I absolutely refuse believing these signs of mine are senseless.

CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION'S VISIT NOVEMBER 1, 2016: DUE TO TECHNICAL NATURE OF YOUR VIOLATION...

Hello Officer Housworth,

I'm curious as to how much effort you put into ringing my front doorbell, knocking on my front door, or maybe if even tried banging on my front door with this most recent visit by Code Enforcement out to my property this afternoon?  I was at home.   And we both know that I'm hearing impaired.

I feel pretty confident believing/saying I'm not...THAT...hearing impaired.  In fact, this doorbell worked fine just the other day for two female Jehovah witnesses having paid me a visit.  Always seem to work just fine for the Jehovah Witnesses, the Democratic Party of Georgia volunteers, and the Better Georgian; even for our Dekalb County Mobile Crisis Unit's nine visits out to my property.

The front doorbell that is!

So what's up with these last three visits by Code Enforcement Division out to my property?

And also could you explain just exactly what is meant by "due to technical nature of your violations"?

Sincerely yours,

James E. Avery, DVM

P.S.  Again, as I'm in violation of DeKalb County Sign Code Ordinances everyday,  I'm more than willing saving you all these trips out to my property by sending you pics of my yard daily.  

Or...

you can accept my offer giving you permission writing me up three or four citations per day based on thirty signs total having been displayed in my yard; even if not quite that many...every...day. I promise that I will not deny or object to these citations.

Greetings Mr. Avery,

I thought it to be quit odd that you wasn’t outside and furthermore not answering your front door?  When you and I spoke last week,  you stated you left the house for a moment when Officer Armstrong visited your location; thus I was under the impression you were not home. 

I visited your location twice on yesterday, spending an approximate time of an hour.  I range the bell multiple times as I  peered in the window looking for any movement; non-to be seen.  I subsequently left your front door stoop to retrieve the door knocker I left on your front door. 

As usual, I parked in the usual location with lights and flashers blaring; complete open and obvious inspection for all to see.  In conclusion, I will return this week to give you the citations  written for yesterday sign violation(s).   Twenty Nine (29) signs erected in the front yard of a residential property.

Regards,

Greetings back to you Officer Housworth,

First...

There would be no point of me owning a home if I'm never in it.  

Second...

As far as the day I missed Officer Armstrong's visit only to find a business card of his left at my front door later that evening, I did run some errands that day.  However, on a follow up visit by Officer Armstrong (believe this was also after my phone conversation with you when given up on getting in touch with Officer Armstrong), he said my jeep was in the driveway that day we missed each other.  

Therefore...

 I was at home that day also if my jeep was in the driveway.   

Third...

As far as you being "parked in the usual location with lights and flashers blaring; complete open and obvious inspection for all to see"; even if I happened to be asleep in a darkened room, they would not have woken me up.  Although my alarm clock has the option of hooking a lamp up to it, I prefer the vibrating disc.  Boy did that scare the hell out of my cat Mr. Ed the first night we tried it. They've been all four paw declawed since!

Anyway...

 I'm sure the neighbors, mine at least, all thought it a lovely sight.

So...

It's my understanding there are three days worth of citations, in addition to  those citations will be receiving with your next visit, waiting for my signature..?  How many do I get to look forward to signing?

Sincerely yours,

James E. Avery, DVM

P.S.

I have a question for you:

Luke 18

⁹ To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:

¹⁰ “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

¹² I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

¹³ “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

¹⁴ “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

  

Do you or the other code enforcers ever fill like this tax collector?

So much for "Open Doors".

Apparently "God" has an impenetrability problem.
