Tuscany Pines...Welcome Home!

I just had the not-so-distinct pleasure of meeting two of the stupidest fuckers in all of Central Oregon. Their names are Jason McAlister and Sheri Herrick. No, I didn't meet them in person. I was reading BendBubble2(http://bendbubble2.blogspot.com/2007/11/rip-breeze-wurzels-plaza-we-hardly-knew.html) and saw mention of a real estate development called Tuscany Pines. I Googled it and poked around the web site a bit.

Let me give you just a few reason why these two smiley faced, yuppy fucks, are such stupid bastards. First of all, they're just now getting into the nuts and bolts of building what looks to be a pretty good sized development, at about the worst time to do so in the last 25 years. The real estate mkt. in this area is tanking, and going to continue to do so for probably the next 3 years, or more. Everytime I see "What's Going Up" on the front of The Bulletin's business section recently, I just have too sit back and chuckle to myself and think...those stupid mother fuckers. NOBODY SHOULD BE BUILDING ANYTHING IN THIS REGION RIGHT NOW!

And folks, that Tuscan themed bullshit is sooooo played out. Fuck, you might as well build Shire 2 (in 3D). "Tuscany Pines is a unique walled community of 99 Tuscan-style town homes on 11 acres of gently rolling meadows full of old growth ponderosa pine trees. The site design is a result of joint efforts between the developers, engineers and arborists. More than 70% of the large trees are preserved and protected to enhance the livability of the community and our neighborhood." --- Just how many rolling meadows and old growth ponderosas can you really put on 11 acres, anyway? Especially when its got 99 godawful townhouses, a clubhouse, and a pool on it! Oh but wait, there's more.

These two are probably the most highly qualified real estate developers on the planet. Get this, he's a professional snowboarder and she's a fucking T.V. anchorwoman. I shit you not. But it says that Jason has been mentored by his daddy-in-law Pat Gisler...and that Pat and his family have over 100 years of successful experience in all aspects of real estate. Well no shit. My god, if Pat Gisler is still alive, he's most likely well over 100 years old all by himself. Hell, I think I even saw Willard Scott with his picture on a jar of strawberry jam the other day.

Then came the piece of the puzzle that set my mind at ease. These beauties are going to be sold by none other that the famous Cate Cushman, of Cushman and Tubbs. Cate the one who reportedly thought that Matt Tomseth was just another Les Schwab tire monkey and sent him on down the road when he and Diana were looking at places in Broken Top.(Way to do your homework, Cate.) Jason, if your a bettin' man, I'll put up Matt's grand-daddy-in-law, even though I know he's gone, agin Ol Pat, any day! That's all just rumor, mind you.

Another over the top development.

I like it over here on your blog. Not so many nuts.

I know that's a strange thing to say, but I'm get really tired of all the B.S. on Bendbubble2 and Bend Economy Bulletin Board.

Lots of pissing contests, and way too much extraneous info on Juniper Ridge and technical crap.

I can barely wade through it anymore.

Thanks, and I know what you mean.

That crap gets extremely long winded, and almost all of it is hogwash. Also, too damned many conspiricy theories.

I mainly sift through it for the occasional gem, or to post an occasional comment to try and stir the pot a little.

Hey,you have a lot of opinions based on nothing more than ignorance and stupidity.Do you have a life, or is your life nothing more than bitching, moaning and criticizing others? It's interesting you have so much to say but you are a chicken shit because you say it here without stating who you are. All I can tell is that you are a nasty little bitch of a man. Defense?

Based on nothing more than having been born and raised here. Based on nothing more than knowing just about every "player" and family that have contributed anything of any consequence to this region in the last 50 years. Based on nothing more than having ridden the cyclic waves of humanity, economy, stupidity, etc., etc., that have washed over the shores of Central Oregon over the last half century.

Yes I like to bitch, and moan, and criticize some of the stupid bullshit that I see happening around me every day. I also like to praise when I feel it's due. What did I do, hit a nerve?

As for remaining anonymous, I do that mostly so I don't hurt the feelings of some of the people that I have to deal with on a daily basis. And how ironic that you can be such a stupid fuck to complain about my anonymity while signing off as "bend power point." I think "bend pud puller" would be more appropriate. Adios Dickhead.
