Thank you for your replies to "Hogs" Another depressing thing is inspite of whatever feeling many of us about the TMO the school MSAE is the crowning jewel so sweet and such a nice environment for the kids. I saw an un named person this past week whose spouse is a dean of one of the levels cant recall which and when I asked this person frankly how things were going with the 1-2 grade class near nil and 3-4 grade girls at 9 students and not sure what boys total is. That persons answers is " We are hoping for a miracle" Here I am in Hog mire worry and she is hoping for a miracle to keep MSAE alive that was the best that person could come up with???? I was stunned. I asked if MUM went under if MSAE could survive and that person said yes but most likely parents would start a charter school and bring some staff with and start their own maybe even rent school buidling if it was not sold.
I really cant imagine but with it shriking I dont see how it can exist realistically in 5 years. To complicate my hog state of negativity I was in Iowa City at doc appt last week and some lady in the docs office told me a sad hog scenairo up state where they could not stop them. They are in proceess of sueing and it has gone on for a long while Sierra Club was involved as the run off killed wild life etc etc etc and she thinks they had to go by somes stritcher standards the hog people but they did not pull out once in. She said her husband was more involved thru some nature group and it was in NE Iowa somewhere. I am not really depressed but am trying to be real about our future here. I figured if we sold our house now and got a fair price and rented a SV house for 5 years just to pick a time frame and then left we would lose in rent what we would lose to the bank if we just never sold our house . So we have decided to just stay in our lovely house. But sad that we have to have these thought even. However I cant be a Ru that puts one's head in the sane and not be real about all of this going on around us. I am sure there was always be a prescense here but I wont be here of hog factories move in and I am sure and know others that feel the same and it saddens me to think this could acutally occur and is just another level of decline of such a great little town. I recall being in TTC and really into the TMO and telling my small grog wouldn't it be great if we could all live in the same town and a few years later it occurred. My spouse says dont worry that will happen again. Groups will form and people will move where friends go to NC or Boulder or Ashland or Ashville etc Florida it will happen again and will be another phase no one could fathom just as you could really think Fairfield would happen you just wished for it back then at age 22.
