Donald Trump is trying to tie California's slow counting of ballots to election fraud. One suggestion: voters were educated to vote by mail in November (not December). Now educate them to vote in October (not November.) They can be urged, not required, to vote early.

This month’s issue of The Cornerstone is out now, read it at thecornerstonepress.com My phone call with the radio station owner went well, maybe you can hear my voice on the radio soon. Next week we’re going to try to meet up at the station. On top of the opportunities at the radio station, there may be uses for the surrounding land, for instance the owner has a snowcone stand their. He also let me know that my city has a local paper, so I reached out to them as well if they’d like any help or to talk to me. My pursuits to purchase a commercial property have changed. The building I was looking at has unpaid taxes and a company has already bought them. This puts a lien on the property and would have to be settled before selling, in other words too much trouble to be worth the effort. I’m fine with a rundown location, cleaning up dirt and debris takes a little effort and the difference is visible. Cleaning a legal mess is near impossible. Unfortunately for our city, that building will probably remain empty for another decade. When I walked around the other day, there were a couple store fronts with boarded up windows and I’ll work with my realtor to find an active seller. Likely everyone is too in their own world to care about the effect their environment makes. Broken glass theory is that in a city if a person sees broken glass on the streets, they’re more likely to throw their trash on the ground. Good examples matter and have a compound interest effect.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

To me, the democratic system represents man’s best and brightest hope of self-fulfillment, of a life rich in promise and free from fear; the one hope, perhaps, for the complete development of the whole man. But I know, and learn more clearly every day, that we cannot keep our system strong and free by neglect, by taking it for granted, by giving it our second-best attention. We must be prepared, like the suitor in The Merchant of Venice — and, I might point out, the successful suitor — to give and hazard all we have.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Essay (1961-04), “What Has Happened to the American Dream?” Atlantic Monthly

#Greenbelt #Humane #Senior #Disability #CivicPride
I just learned about Operation Silver Shovel. Greenbelt, MD, like many other places,, has received a nasty dusting of snow; nasty, at least, for our tender experience. Now I learned that if you live in a townhouse or single,, are 70 or older or disabled, the city will clear your driveway/sidewalk if you can't. Dang. We're not talking about their doing it and fining you: just doing it to help, so there's access in case of an emergency.
(Now i the snowplow driver will only go home, so I can clear the bottom of our driveway so it stays clear.) That aside is serious, but at the same time I applaud them. They've been doing a great job of keeping the roads clear. Not just the main drag: all the roads.

A Sunlit Afternoon on the Wall

This is me standing on the old walls of Cork where I took this photo in Bishop Lucey Park yesterday afternoon. The sun had already started to head to the horizon and it wasn’t even 3pm, but it did light up the mural on the wall and placed the ground in front of me in shadow.

For many in Ireland, November is firmly in the winter months of the year. It seems to be a traditional Irish/Celtic thing because Met Éireann uses meteorological seasons which classify September, October and November as autumn.

Good Morning #Canada
After recently moving to Belle Ewart (Bell You-wart), I find myself making strange pronunciations of my town to see people's reactions. Life is short... take pleasure where you can. But if you're a Canadian living in one of the towns mentioned in this CBC article, do you proudly tell people where you live, or do you mumble the answer and hope no one responds. I think you embrace the fun and show pride in your community by investing in t-shirts and hats emblazoned with your town name. But that's just me - some old retired guy with no reputation worth saving.
BTW, if you're looking for a conversation starter, here's a Geographic Fact - the distance between Dildo Newfoundland and Climax Saskatchewan is 5,551 km, about 2 days and 16 hours by car.

A quotation from Ben Franklin

                                        A Cure for Poetry,
Seven wealthy Towns contend for Homer, dead,
Thro’ which the living Homer beg’d his Bread.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard (1739 ed.)

"What they really mean when they scaremonger about tax is 'be greedy, be selfish, don't care about your society and community'. All for the sake of a very few pounds."

There's a novel idea, and one that not only cuts down on litter, but encourages social interaction & improves wellbeing & mental health.

Well done, Ruth. We need more like you.

‘What if the people responsible for shutting libraries haven’t done this by accident, and *are* vaguely aware of their “value”? What if they just don’t care and/or have an ideological hatred of “civic” and “public”? What if this isn’t really anything to do with regrettable budgetary decisions, but a desire to get rid of as many public services as possible?’
