A face to face meeting with Sharon West resulted in a 30% reduction in my vehicle tax valuation. Met a true ally in the need for calling out ridiculous spending decisions by the County Council. So in the blink of an eye this old man is pivoting towards a DOGE like watchdog group right here in Sparkle City.
I don't know how many of you are aware of the fact that I had a serious motorcycle accident around the first week of November last year... I ended up in a wad on the side of the road looking strait up and could not move. My front wheel had locked up and i went head first over the handle bars. Other than don't move and the ambulance is coming... about the only other thing I remember hearing was they said I skidded 98 ft. I suffered significant nerve damage that causes muscles in my neck and shoulders to stay cramped up all the time. My Sweetheart Ruby took care of me for about a week before I was able to put on a t shirt without help.
Surviving something like that where you could have just as easily been dead changes you. It could have been just some of the drugs they were giving me but I was convinced I was spared to fix nextdoor... And I spent virtually all of the next week on a binge creating a cast of characters starting with a character called Stronkey... Strong Donkey... developed in collaboration with Elon Musk... for use on the Martian colony.
A friend I had worked with at BMW joked that he and I were going to be the first handymen in space. And so began the cast of characters that were to become the crew that was going to fix nextdoor as a side job. Robo Dude was the personification of the chatbot and Byte the elf like little guy with an attitude and multiple other world powers... part shape shifter part time traveler and some say the brains of the whole outfit. So I said all that to say this.. the focus going forward for the fixingnextdoor.com website will be doing what we can to make nextdoor friendly again... and also to bring attention to issues that cant always be discussed freely on this site. So stay tuned and enjoy the ride.
