The Ohio State Auditor's Office has put East Cleveland back into fiscal emergeny (click to link to Auditor's site).

This sign came to my attention via Kathy Wray Coleman's email blast - check Ms. Coleman's reporting at http://www.clevelandurbannews.com/.   Anyway, my interest aroused,  I went to take a look for myself (and took this image) 

 Electing judges is not the right way to go, but in Ohio that's how it's done.

So how do you determine who to vote for?

Difficult for the layman - because in Cuyahoga County alone there are over 90 elected judicial offices - see following from Judge4yourself

One way to know if the words out of politician's mouths are sincere, or spin, is to listen to what the affected industry says.

9.30.12 Note:   Yesterday's post is inaccurate.   This is not a malware problem or a Verizon problem. This is a Samsung cell phone problem.   The following rant against Verizon is baseless.  I recharged the Samsung phone (which is about 2 years old) and today the phone is functioning properly.  

Original inaccurate post follows:

 While I was speaking with Admin the other day about Guy's PETA post which had been trunkated in advancement to the home page, I learned something that I had no idea about...Who's looking at Realneo!

Now I look (click on)Realneo pretty much everyday, but I also have work to do so I don't expect I am the biggest clicker on Realneo.

Well Admin, who have access to the Realneo server logs, told me that the biggest looker (over the last two weeks) was Google.

My interests in image recording sent me to this Nikon website - I was looking for some high powered lens for wildlife recording, with sterio audio and GPS.   What I surprizingly found is this Nikon advice on birding etiquette.   Read it - it isn't pablum but the real deal...

I compliment Nikon for being a corporation which on this web page hasn't spun...greenwashing.

Solar panels in Cleveland?   Bill Mason's wind turbines in Lake Erie "about 3 miles off" Cleveland?  I don't think so....

Cleveland is too corrupt, too ignorant, to advance.  

And the Ohio Coal Lobby and the rail road coal haulers don't want any change.  Of Course.

But - we were able to land this 6 wheeled robot on Mars.  

What's for dinner?

Wood?

Well, 

Actually,

Wood is good!

I read a few months back an article in the NEW YORKER - "Reversal of Fortune" - telling the back story of Steve Donziger detailing  the Equadorian lawsuit against Texaco/Chevron for the pollution in the western Equadorian Amazon basin. 

We have all around us a natural "envelop of protection” - but, alas, many of us don't see it that way.  All around us insects and animals go about their daily business of "balancing" the species.   Spiders reduce all those insects which bother us...their webs are natural “window screening”.

 I am always encouraged when I see a new variation on an old theme.   Just when you thought skyscraper design was a dead end, you look out of your car window and see that an architect (and a bunch of computers linked to fabricators) have come up with something new and intersting.  

Phone booths are gone.    Newspaper boxes are empty.   And the United States Post Office is headed for the bottom.

The image on the right is a wider-less cropped view - more US soldiers are in view - kids escaped the napalm - but the adults - no exit.   Hey, maybe our empathy isn't zero - our American troops let the kids out of Hell.

The image isn't of an eviction or foreclosure.   The image is a graduation image.   Rent for a year, move on.  

Everything is cheap in America.    Cheap to buy, cheap to trash.   

These folks put all their furniture out on the curb - their young son was concerned and put up the paper signs -

Anyone seen blood drip like this?

He explained that once you get that pull - and the fish is trying to save it's life - you get addicted.

There are 12 million illegal Mexicans in the USA.   We know there are 12 million  because these immigrants  entered the USA illegally and we keep an accurate account of illegal entries.  Also, the Republican chicken factories keep an account of their employees ....

On the length of time we all silently sucked up Cuyahoga corruption (and still do - corruption - MedCon for one and the "LANDBANK" for another - is still vibrant, healthy, and ongoing)  , Mr. Roberts comments:

Beautiful skin.   Compressed and folded. Smooth too.

My hand runs across it.
