  1. @Appalachian I have discovered the #Veggie Gifter. It is our 81 year old #neighbor across the street.

    I was in the yard with the Yorkies and she came running across the street with a big bag of fresh #garden #vegetables.

    My gosh, I love small town #America.

  3. A quotation from Horace

    When thy next neighbours house is all on fire,
    ’Tis thy concern to make his flames expire;
    For fire will gather strength if let alone,
    And with thy neighbours house burn down thine owne.
     
    [Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.
    Et neglecta solent incendia sumere vires.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “To Lollius,” l. 84ff (1.18.84-85) (20 BC) [tr. A. B.; ed. Brome (1666)]

    The Fall Risk: A Short Story

  5. Tyndale—executed for translating the Bible—states God’s accounting criteria plainly. At judgment: did you feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty? Not: did you build abbeys or fund priests? The institutional religion of his day had inverted the priorities. One notes the inversion remains available in certain quarters.

  8. Pilkington—Puritan, expounding Proverbs—prays the wealthy would open their barns rather than corner markets during hunger. Solomon’s verdict: hoarders get cursed, sellers get blessed. Note the nuance: private property stays intact. It’s simply that hoarding during famine attracts God’s plague and popular fury. Today we’d sooner blame the hungry for coveting. Proverbs disagrees.

  9. No Parachuting

    In the TDG neighborhood elections, neighbors can vote only for another neighbor.

    So there is no parachuting of faraway candidates to represent the TDG electoral districts.

  10. Martin Luther basically says every Christian hosts a daily argument between “Old Adam” and a conscience trained by Scripture. One wants holiness; the other wants snacks, shortcuts, and another pint. True faith trains the heart to praise Christ, serve neighbors, and stop cheating people. Beer optional. Moses still teaching.
