Homeless in Arizona

I never wonder how an oasis like that magically appeared in the desert, but I guess I should have.

Last week on Museum Day I got a free ticket and visited the Arizona Historical Society Museum and they had a blurb on how the forest got there.

For years the Tempe water treatment facility discharged waste water there and that is what caused all those trees to grow like a forest in the bone dry desert.

Of course our government bureaucrats always rewrite history to suit them.

The blurb they gave was it was an accidental water discharge that created the forest!

Yea, accidental my butt. I am sure it was a very intentional discharge of waste water and absolutely nothing about it was accidental.

I suspect the government bureaucrats in the EPA or some other federal agency send them an order to stop discharging the water.

Then after saying it was created accidentally what ever government bureaucrat wrote it also seem to think the silly forest that was created accidentally should be made into a landmark.

They then got into a lot of BS on how the arroyo didn't have any water rights to allow the city of Tempe to continue flooding the arroyo.

The odd think it the forest in fenced to keep homeless people like me from sleeping in it.

For that matter a huge chunk of desert land in north Tempe is also fenced off, probably to keep homeless people like me from sleeping in it.

They talk about water as they always do. The CAP, the local dams and the canals.

They also talked about how Arizona was a huge airbase during WWII. They always do that. And the POW camp at Papago Park, where the Germans escaped and planned to float down the Salt River, to the Gila River, to the Colorado River only to discover that the Salt River is dry and full of rattlesnakes, gila monsters and every thing but water.

They always forget to talk about the genocide us white folks committed against the Indians.
