Two and a half years ago I was in Evanston Wyoming. Kicked out of a place for the station while we as an organization struggled to get the place on the hill.
After being frozen out and I mean frozen out with numerous trips to the hospital to get warm and thaw I relocated again to Tweaker Flatts Idaho. Was only planning on camping there but some beanerstizel lady at SSA. and 5 months of getting my benefits transfered from Wyoming to Idaho several times I had thoughts of punching out of this life and see what's on the other side.
Then a Deputy from Jerome Idaho gave me just enough aid to go to Boise. Was settling down there and some buttwhipe named Gary said move back to Tweaker Flatts, and let the AG. Church there. So I did. Thought I had it all together at a good place on Locust Street North there but the owner decided to sell the house to her daughter. Completely homeless I slept in the General JaXson here in one of two places until I could find housing.
In amongst that manure I discovered an office space on 2nd West to run the station from and in time find affordable housing. The situation has became nearly impossible to deal with. Considering that for really in expensive rates office/studio rates can be had.
Through the summer sleeping in the General JaXson has not been all that bad. However it's getting colder and while a bit better it's not getting better.
I thought I had a place for the station on Overland Ave here in Burley Idaho. $300.00 a month and getting a place to hang my hat at night and or during the day.
That property slumlord and the one before said you can do all that at home.
I have tried to do that before but when you add on air talent and everything especially female on air talent for radio 📻 you just don't do that in your home. A office studio needs to be in well an office studio space. Find that, unpack get it all back on air then find housing. Except that ain't the easiest undertaking that it may seem. If you can't make a living at a chosen location why bother with housing?
So past Thursday I squirted in my jeans. In an attempt to dry out my testicles I sprinkled some baking soda in my britches and the burn 🔥 has gotten worse. To where I had to wrap Herman and crew up in a wet sock to cool the effected area until it finally washes off . The jerk at Mountain West Realty could not understand I was doing the best I could. I Still couldn't understand why he would not just let me pay August's rent and September's rent stay put while I chased down housing. Not like I relished sleeping on the floor of that office and I was on the way to getting the station up to full throttle. Even afterburner level.
A younger gal of broadcasting that I have known for years I recruited to step into the op, while again, I hunted down housing.
But no. Can't live there. Nope apparently the laws say work there yes, live there no. Question is why?
Must be something to do with security and liability.
After this past weekend and all lF stuff don't get better soon I am on my way to some place Utah and forget I was born in Idaho.
