Phone Privacy? I'm guessing the big-dogs probably have a way to make private phone calls; so I'm wondering what kind of person I should ask about the successful methods. I mean, I could ask a PI, get to know a phone company technician and offer an honorarium for good info, etc. I'll bet some people still have privacy.

Stacked Deck Stay-Away Law Expansion Promises More Pain for Poor Outside Coming up today at City Council on the noon agenda (unusually early) is Item, #14.

The vastly expanded area includes the Pogonip, Arana Gulch, and Moore Creek.
