February 11, 2025 a thought for today, The first time it's smart; the second time it's cute; the third time you get a sock in the teeth. Yiddish Proverb
The first upload for yesterday was “surprise”. This was a nice surprise for me. For this weeks Sunday School lesson one of our members dressed as a shepherdess to give the lesson. She brought along some “props” that looked much like utensils as well as snacks that would have been used in biblical times.
The next upload for yesterday was “j is for...” I used the joker in a deck of cards for my “J”.
chose to use some of the Ball mason jars that I use for my hydroponic garden for this challenge.
Life today. This seems to be one of those easy going days, they help to make the “deadline”-type days a little more easy to push through.
The bulletin is done, it was done yesterday. The first thing this morning I corrected an oversight on yesterday’s blog (Sweet Pea was pushing me when I was finishing the blog, she wanted her dinner so I quickly finished and shut it down to tend to her). After that I put together the instagram upload for yesterdays Sunday School class. Now I’m going to get to the kitchen to make dog-style meatballs then to the dishwasher and frig. After that will be photos, I have one already in the camera, two more to go. Then some lunch before back to the letter.
I am back from the break mentioned in the paragraph above. Meatballs done, dishes done, frig done, photos captured. Now I just finished the “darkroom” portion of photography so they are ready for uploads.
The first upload for today is “fresh”. The closest I have on hand as fresh is a salad of tomatoes and lettuce.
I left a bit of a mess from fixing my lunch, that still needs cleaned up but I was anxious to get back to my desk chair for a break from those sorts of tasks.
We are suppose to have a water meter person here tomorrow. Apparently they are putting in a more “modern” kind of meter for making the readings much easier.
The word today is side. Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right. Abraham Lincoln. A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle. Hear the other side. Saint Augustine. O' What may man within him hide, though angel on the outward side! William Shakespeare. Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either. Aesop. Things looked at patiently from one side after another generally end by showing a side that is beautiful. Robert Louis Stevenson. Wherever the sword of rebellion is drawn to protect the rights of man, I am a rebel. Wherever the sword of rebellion is drawn to give man liberty, to clothe him in all his just rights, I am on the side of that rebellion. Robert Green Ingersoll. Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy. Vincent Van Gogh. Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture. Charles Caleb Colton. The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you are abed. If you pull it upon your shoulders, your feet are left bare; if you thrust it down to your feet, your shoulders are uncovered. Thomas Paine. God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave. Francis Bacon. Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death. Horace.
Article: Saying goodbye to a part of history as well as a small part of it being saved by icons in our city. The article: Spaghetti Warehouse Demolition Begins But Its Iconic Trolley Is Saved. There has been talk for a long time about the warehouse coming down. The demolition has begun. A day or so ago I thought I read that the “famous” trolley car that was on the inside was not going to be saved. Since then an organization has arranged to save the trolley. After the demolition is completed new apartments and retail space will take its place. The building is over 100 years old. In 2022 a part of the roof collapsed. As the demolition was being planned they were saying that the was “no way to safely extract it through traditional means, it seemed doomed to be lost in the demolition”.The group that has come up with a way to save the trolley is the Rickenbacker Woods Foundation. The trolley will be “incorporate(d) into an exhibit honoring African American inventor Granville T. Woods”. This sight is “located near the boyhood home of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker on East Livingston Avenue.” The article goes on to say who Mr. Rickenbacker and Mr. Woods are. Eddie Rickenbacker “was a Columbus-born World War I fighter pilot and Medal of Honor recipient”. He became a know figure in the aviation industry. Granville Woods was a prolific African American inventor with over 60 patents. His work in electrical engineering revolutionized the railway industry”. His inventions “helped shape modern transportation and electrical systems”. Rickenbacker Woods Foundation (RWF) is “dedicated to preserving the legacies of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and Granville T. Woods while serving as a resource for the Columbus community”. This organization works toward historical preservation and is in “a partnership with the Buckeye Community Hope Foundation”. The organization helped in a “Columbus’ housing shortage” that “brought 47 energy-efficient, affordable homes to the Driving Park neighborhood in 2017".
Hamburgers and fries sound good for dinner.
