There was a time when IdiotBriggs held as much clout on the island as Sir William the Pittiful.
I date her decline beginning in the late spring of 2005, when she went with a tour group--on someone else's dime, not hers--for a couple of weeks in Egypt, and came back, proclaiming that women had more rights in Egypt than they do here.
But some lonely soul called her on it, after which she went to pieces.
She later re-emerged as the whining landlady getting ripped off by tenants.
This was going on while we were at our old home, and I had plenty of arguments with LibraryLady, the nemesis of the big guy in Bellevue until his friends came along last year, as she "felt sorry" for the IdiotBriggs primitive, who had several miscarriages. As far as I was concerned, the primitive wasn't getting near the misery she deserved.
