We
are normally welcomed by the local residents when we hold a rally. We have been “kicked out” of a few
restaurants because they didn’t want us taking the time to hold meetings when
they could be using the tables for more paying customers. But Tuesday evening we were actually
confronted by a young woman and her boyfriend screaming at first Ralph and
Willa and then Ken and Lois for taking their parking spot. We had just returned from the day’s ride and
out of their room they came loaded for bear.
They began screaming and cussing while the rest of us looked up in
amazement and shock. Bill and others
came to the rescue which gave the young man and woman clearly under the
influence of alcohol more targets to scream at.
I could hear “come on I’ll fight ya” and “go f*** yourself” being yelled
at Bill who was trying to defuse the situation.
Seems this man and woman had been living here for 5 weeks and Ralph and
Ken placed their trailers in a parking spot when they arrived Sunday that this
young couple had “claimed” as theirs because they could park their truck the
closest to their room door. How would we
know that? Ken finally got the guy to
calm down after about an hour or more of talking to him. At one point I was expecting to see him (the
young man) take a swing at Bill or Ken. This
was a first for the UTR group. I must
say this young man is not a “local” he is a construction worker here from
Texas. Must be a sad life to live in a
small hotel room with nothing to do after working but drink. We need to pray for him.
