The POAC HQ


Crazy woman with a plastic container and a frankenfoot

Thanks Boss!

I realized that I could do this without the main PC and while Robbie and I were in the kitchen.

Here's how I imagined it.

Well.. Not to far off. Watch me bring back the Farmer's Holiday Association. It's a local phenomenon: Farmer's Holiday Association: Le Mars Iowa... NEVER FORGET.

The above pic is from Dorthea Lange, and was taken in 1937 in the Imperial Valley, Ca.

Keep-up the good work, TJT.

Ha! I saw the great POAC infrastructure!
I thought would be something like this...

Thanks for sharing TJ!

I've noticed that solid brick wall outside your office window on photo' you've posted in the past. Not much of a view! Have you ever thought about painting some sort of a mural on it, to inspire you and give you something a bit more peasant to look at in the quieter moments?

LOL... I don't think the owner of the building would appreciate that! But great idea!!!!!!

Interesting stuff, no? Here in Le Mars, we damn near lynched a judge until he agreed to rule a foreclosure law unconstitutional. That made national headlines and at the time, a future President (who was then a young reporter by the name of Ronald Reagan) came and interviewed one of the people involved on the front porch of a house that almost became the current POAC HQ. We opted for this house instead.

One of the things the Farmer's Holiday Association was known for was attending farm foreclosure auctions en masse armed with shotguns and pitchforks and only allowing bids of one cent. Once two bids were made, it was declared a legal auction and the person who was foreclosed upon would buy it back from the top bidder for two cents. Anyone objecting would get a pitchfork up their keester.

Another thing they would do to try to drive up the prices of their farm products was disrupt rail lines, form roadblocks and destroy goods that were being shipped via truck, and general mischief, thus increasing demand and prices.

Who says we don't know how to have fun in Le Mars?

I'm designing a t-shirt to sell here that says just what I said before: "Farmer's Holiday Association, Le Mars Iowa, NEVER FORGET" And then I'll put a crossed shotgun and pitch-fork for the image.

Haha! How would they feel about you hanging some sort of bill-board on their wall? That way it would be 'temporary' (removable) and TJ could change the displayed artwork to sit his mood!

I like it!!!!

BTW, I had my story off a bit regarding the near lynching of the judge here in town:

Judge C. C. Bradley was dragged from his bench, physically and verbally abused, and threatened with lynching in an attempt to coerce him to agree to the constitutionality of the Debtor Relief Law.

Purty innersting what real people can do when they're pissed and come together.

I was thinking something more like the Batcave.

Wait til you see this years Halloween pictures
