Growth in Sonoma County

 The biggest complaints these days are about growth in Sonoma County - especially from those who just moved here.   These newcomers want to close up the drawbridge - of course after they are on the side of the castle.  

It just kills me that those who are complaining about growth did not grow up in the area nor attended an area high school.  They all moved here from somewhere else.  Yet...there they are acting as though they are protectors of the environment proclaiming protection of the environment such as the one-eyed-snake, the horny-owl, and the like to keep others out.  

These people make me want to puke.  Just say it as it is.  They moved here from somewhere else, and now they don't want anybody else to move here.

The only people who have a right to be pissed off about growth are the Miwok natives of the area.  They don't give a (blank) about architecture from the 1850's fitting into our new downtown developments.  

Truth be told, the Miwoks lived along the creek where our house now resides.  Every member of our household has experienced a confused native from long ago wandering through our house trying to make sense of our modern conveniences.  They can't comprehend our lifestyle and why we have so many modern conveniences.  

There is a place along the creek where all the dogs we've ever had  stop, whine, and retreat.  I suspect it's a spot of battle ground where things did not go well for either side.  I sense there was a death of both native american warriers who were fighting about hunting rights.
