It has turned out to be a busy and productive day. It started with making the envelopes for home bound bulletin deliveries and completing the handout sheet for the free meal on Saturday.
Then Sue and I left for Kroger. I always go overboard at the store. I think somewhere deep down I am afraid that I will go hungry if I don’t pick this and that up as I go by.
We made the other necessary stops yesterday, a stop at the bank, another stop at Walgreen and then a run by the park for a photo of the day shot.
The photo challenge for yesterday was “a quiet moment”. That shot was the purpose for the stop at Westgate Park. This happened to be just perfect. The park offers many “quiet moments”. So I had a feeling it would be the bees knees.
When we got home from the store today, I put the cold things away and got back to the computer both to get started on other data projects as well as some search for items I wanted to add to the new phone. All of that allowed me time to rest the weary legs. I think I will have enough steps on my fitbit step’s tracker. I also took the time to answer some emails that had come in.
I had information back from the bulletins and got those ready for printing tomorrow morning.
On the 5th of the month I have a second photo of the day “assignment”. Yesterday’s was “anything on wheels”. The wheel barrel standing beside the garage seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
I took a break to take the two photos of the day I need for today. But before that I took another break to peel and slice the potatoes for the cheesy potatoes I want for dinner. It takes about an hour and a half in the over to get done.
The word is knowledge. Through seven figures come sensations for a man; there is hearing for sounds, sight for the visible, nostril for smell, tongue for pleasant or unpleasant tastes, mouth for speech, body for touch, passages outwards and inwards for hot or cold breath. Through these come knowledge or lack of it, Hippocrates. All wish to know, but few the price will pay, Juvenal. Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance, Baltasar Gracian. ...love of learning is the most necessary passion ... in it lies our happiness. It's a sure remedy for what ails us, an unending source of pleasure, Emilie du Chatelet. Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Seeking knowledge at an Young age is like engraving on a stone, Hasan of Basra. It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows, Epictetus. The true method of knowledge is experiment, William Blake. There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source, Brigham Young. True knowledge lies in knowing how to live, Baltasar Gracian. The peak efficiency of knowledge and strategy is to make conflict unnecessary, Sun Tzu. Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge, Dante Alighieri.
Today’s photo theme is “flora”. I have three plants in my “gardens” blooming right now so I picked the latest one to open.This is a bit of news about some more structure change and usage in Columbus. The city is buying Douglas Elementary School. Starling Meddle is to auctioned. The Douglas school structure will be used as a new Senior Creative Campus through the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department. They are also taking over the Stockbridge Elementary School site. It will be used a an extension of Stockbridge Park. The Starling building will be auctioned on August 27. The former Beck Elementary School in German Village and the former Cleaqrbrook Middle School building are being used by charter schools, one is South Columbus Preparatory Academy and the other the United Preparatory Academy East.
I am making fried bologna and cheesy potatoes for dinner.
