clapper-

What is the Army saying now for their reason?

the army is not removing it. their concession holders
are removing it (CCDC - cochiti tribe) because the army
terminated their lease for not maintaining the marina
for the last five years. the contract says that upon
termination the concession holder will remove the
infrastructure or be charged for its removal.

the history and events leading up to this would take me
all night to relate... it's a very complex situation
and difficult to explain... don't ask. <g>

the situation is still unfolding and the future of
boating facilities now includes participation by
NM congressman udall's office (thanks to kathleen).

the removal began monday (columbus day - not just
a coincidence) but has hit a snag and other scenarios
may transpire - the removal is on hold for a while.
this is not necessarily a good sign.

Did CCDC buy the property and now gonna build condos there?

no. CCDC is anti-development and anti-capitalist. their
actions are motivated by anger at columbus (onate, actually)
and their financial decisions are not related to normal
profit and loss or capital preservation concerns... their
income is generated from slip rents and federal grants.
none of it is earmarked for maintenance, marina operations
or capital preservation/replacement. they get their money
for nothin' and their chicks for free.

this is not a criticism... merely an observation and reporting.
i have reservations about the wisdom of pure capitalism myself.

How about a copy-n-paste of one of your replies to the pirates?

sure. here ya go:

re: kathleen's nephews

Take 'em to a Lobos game.

great call... but they stayed here for three daze
and started smelling like fish. they went back to
phoenix yesterday. <VBG>

i took 'em to the duck pond to meet and feed the ducks and
geese. the older one, chase - age five, warned me that i had
stepped in duck poop and that i should not be smoking near him
because he is allergic to smoke. i thanked him. i cleaned the
poop off my shoe and told him to stand upwind of the uncle.
i set them up with their video games on my tv and on my
computer and helped them with their compressed air toy
motorcycle. their mom took them to ride the tram up to
the crest to see the snow and she took them to the zoo.

i think they had a good time. they are great little boys.
i did not ask them what love is, your post came too late. <g>
