And than of course right behind all that comes the shooting in Charleston that is either self defense/ I was afraid or a flat out shooting of a kid with more mouth and bravado than common sense. In either case a useless situation that will not end well for either family.
I am sure you all remember the old saying " Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus". Well I am going to again say "Yes West Virginia, there is racism here". And again ask one and all to try and look past the skin color; to bite one's tongue and not make the off the wall remark to look like a big guy and finally to understand once again that our World is getting smaller and smaller each day. We are all in this boat together and will sink or swim together.
See where the Tyrant Fidel Castro has passed. This makes today (Saturday), an early Christmas for the enslaved Cuban People and a final ending to decades of what he and Che Guevara brought to not just South and Central America, but to Africa as well. Death, pillage, mayhem and rape were the signature acts in their terrible play on the World stage for more than three decades. Good Riddance and hopefully a better life for the Cubans? Will the old Cuban refugees from the Batista era go back now; not a chance in Hell other than to try and regain their old properties if possible. That would probably start another Civil War there as the current crop of Communists are not about to give up the place yet. But lets all hope for the best and maybe a bit more peace in our Hemisphere?
See where the City is going to have a "draft version of the application and a draft version of the Analysis of the Brownfields Cleanup Alternative" for a dog and pony show at the Wayside United Methodist Church at 3001 Grand Central Mall on the 29th of November from 6:30- 8:00 P.M.. It will be in the Auditorium at the rear of the building. Noting how much B.S. was in the last one submitted, I am skeptical of the truthfulness of whatever goes on this time too. After all, why do we need this if there is no contamination on the Western side of the park area? Also was never a ravine on the site? Go, listen oh so closely and ask hard questions. This is a scam to get EPA funds more than a legitimate process by the City. As I write this, there is still no word on the Risk Assessment/ Remediation Plan due at the DEP? It is due by the end of this year so that also will be interesting to see what is proposed? City has been telling more untruths than truths so far on what its plans are? But the Obamalite Legacy is far more important that any inconvenient truth could be. If one does not believe, just ask Mr. Rapp. I would think the safety of your children born and yet unborn is far more important than his Legacy? But it will be up too you individually to call him out on his schemes.
Caught one of our box stores locally doing their infamous "bait and switch" that it likes to do. Advertise an item at one size for a price and than have only a smaller size for the same cost. Be ever so cautious on what is on an advertising sign in front of a stacked display versus what is in the stack itself.
Seems the early shopping on Thanksgiving and the Black Friday marathon was not as big a deal as was expected in some places? Good thing I noted was some folks at least waited till almost past Thanksgiving before putting up the Christmas displays. Maybe God did get a break this year and His Holiest of Days will be on the expected 25th in December? But some are just into the gift side of it and have lost any and all appreciation for what it truly stands? Let's see if the Salvation Army can muster about 15 gifts again this year for each needy child? How about a hug and a kiss from Ol' Saint Nick? Maybe even a God Bless for them too? Yeah, I know, I am just too old fashioned.
In any case, I hope and pray in my old fashioned way that all enjoyed their long weekend. And for those who have to pull a shift or two; or maybe did it so another could be off; allow me another God Bless/ job well done for each of you. 'nuff said'.
