April 20, 2022 a thought for today, The truth is lost when there is too much debating. Dutch Proverb
The first photo a day challenge for yesterday was “healthy”. I was at food pantry and there was some healthy produce available for our guests today so I took some photos of those that were available.
I got bad news yesterday from the insurance about my car accident. The other guy’s insurance is denying my claim. I don’t know how that could be. When I learned to drive and took my drivers licence test the law said that if you had or caused an accident when backing from a lesser (driveway for instance) thoroughfare to a greater (city street) thoroughfare you were at fault. When I spoke to that company, it was recorded and I told them I saw the man moving out of the driveway but as I got closer and he appeared to restart from what I thought was a stop I stopped. The adjuster from the other company told my adjuster that I should have stopped. I did stop. And the other guy hit me I didn’t hit him. Anyway we, my son and I, were advised to seek an appeal. I hoped we could get it settled without a lot of fan fare. I called the other adjuster this morning and suggested that he re-listen to the recording he made when I spoke with him several days ago. But he is still denying my claim.
have any nice early spring flowers in the garden yet. This year.
Today is another food pantry day. I am waiting for my ride.
And now I am back from food pantry.....we weren’t as busy today as we were yesterday. It was a good day though. And we had time during the slow times for bonding with co-volunteers and friends.
I had the bulletin done and most of the newsletter before I left. The one piece of the newsletter that I needed came in while I was out so now I will take the time to finish it before putting things out for dinner.
The word for today is speak. He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know. Lao Tzu. When angry count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred. Thomas Jefferson. Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? Buddha. When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them. Plato. It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear. Henry David Thoreau. Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write. John Adams. Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood. William Penn. We cannot always oblige; but we can always speak obligingly. Voltaire. It is terrible to speak well and be wrong. Sophocles. I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary. Charles Spurgeon. We know how to speak many falsehoods that resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things. Hesiod. We say little, when vanity does not make us speak. Francois de La Rochefoucauld. A Christian is: a mind through which Christ thinks, a heart through which Christ loves, a voice through which Christ speaks, and a hand through which Christ helps, Saint Augustine.
I think this idea is kind of interesting. I’m not sure what purpose it may serve in anyone’s daily life but it is educational. How streets get their names. This is quite a long article and I have only done a part of the streets they have checked out. I will do more at another time. The first street/road mentioned in the article is Schrock. In 1840 there was a man named Washington Schrock who owned a 137-acre farm with a sugar grove of 1,100 sugar maple trees. This also included a sugar house where he made candy and syrup. The road that all of this is located on is now called Schrock Road. The next road is Northridge Road in Clintonville. The land was once owned by the Fuller family. There was a farm on the land and it became Whetstone Park. At first land on the east side of High Street was developed. But this land was not selling successfully. However they continued to develop the land and named the streets Fuller Avenue and Ellingotn. These names were changed later to Northridge and Chatham. Next is Marconi Boulevard. Note: I spent over fifteen years working at the Federal Court Building on this street. In 1937 Italian citizens in Columbus asked to have a street named Waters Street to Marconi Boulevard. The name comes from Guglielmo Marconi who was an inventor. Two men were prominent in seeking this name change, one a lawyer and an Italian consular agent. The other was a tailor and a dry cleaner here in Columbus. There is a street in Columbus named Mooberry. It is named after a Revolutionary War soldier “who came to Ohio after he was expelled from a Quaker church in York County, Pa.” According to the article he fought along side George Washington at the Battle of Valley Forge. He came to Ohio in 1806 and bought a land to run a farm along Alum Creek. Fishinger Road. This was built in 1904 and a family named Fishinger “petitioned” for the road. The original owner had been a fire marshal in Franklin County and a county recorder. He was also worked in the family milling business. The article says the “mill was demolished when the Griggs Dam was constructed on the Scioto River and any remains are now underwater.”
It is going to be left overs again tonight for dinner.
