As some of you may remember I have been maintaining the nav aids in
the Estero bay on the channel to the Estero River. Related to another
local event I have been dealing with the gated community that is the
maintainers of record. They want to replace missing markers and clear
up the discrepancies in a Coast Guard complaint. It turns out I fixed
one of them over 2 years ago so that is a done deal. We are really
down to one that is missing. It is missing because it was in the wrong
spot and causing more trouble than it solved. (Vigilante activism)I
have gotten the USCG 7th district Miami to agree we should install the
new one in another spot and we have agreed on a place. DEP is OK with
whatever we want to do. Then comes the US Corps of engineers. I can't
even get them to return a call or respond to an enquiry on their web
site. (over a week) My first question is why in the hell is the army
involved at all?

I could tell you some amazing stories about the incompetence and
indifference of the Corps of Engineers. They are the epitome of
federal bureaucracy run amok. An organization that I belong to has
spent several years, spent many thousands on high priced consultants
to prepare elaborate plans, and made numerous calls to congress
people, just to get approval for a build out on a site many miles from
the nearest water. They, the EPA, and USFWC should all have their
budgets slashed by 50% and force them to focus on what's truly
important.

.... and Harry says I only take on little "hobby" projects ;-)

I also have a fight going on with City Hall about developing the
preserve. I have a pretty good rabble roused, 3 big gated communities
and several smaller organizations.
I stay busy
