Cleveland has found a record that a St. Patrick's parade (probably a procession) took place on the west side in 1842. Seemingly all Catholic and Orthodox nations have their days of celebration. Parishes, and then groups of parishes, and then with sodalities, and then social organisations were added, then labor groups (possible development of accumulation). Well, somewhere it expanded beyond Catholics and Irish. First of all, Patrick is a saint for the entire Church. So at some point, people saw this was a vehicle to join, and to be seen.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNT20bQKjLCcqkERCJgaoGhAQOiKlxJkFmlcOkfw7HAESvpGRGWmzA3Ho7UOa4ghjtivBHk27fOBRlSy5FVI_smFv7pTZnmjMT-_LoLCvNoN_gWZpBj2GhUQ5t92LfIYR6oqTtS62rnjOtDxoyqpFrYozen7hMhQI2XxXv9fCAlCzmZF8sb6KfuNiS0ElP/s800/3%20g%20busters.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="556" data-original-width="800" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNT20bQKjLCcqkERCJgaoGhAQOiKlxJkFmlcOkfw7HAESvpGRGWmzA3Ho7UOa4ghjtivBHk27fOBRlSy5FVI_smFv7pTZnmjMT-_LoLCvNoN_gWZpBj2GhUQ5t92LfIYR6oqTtS62rnjOtDxoyqpFrYozen7hMhQI2XxXv9fCAlCzmZF8sb6KfuNiS0ElP/w400-h278/3%20g%20busters.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>As i wrote two posts ago: always there are old cars, horses, dogs, bagpipers, high school bands.

This is mostly for the floats of the East, and West Side Irish clubs; very few other people notice. Now, they have picked a political one, <i>Ireland: One Island One Nation.</i> Ireland has 32 counties, that are part of two states. The Republic of Ireland has 26 counties, and the United Kingdom (Britannia) has 6. Those that remained with Britain have been under Protestant control. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9Z7WyDdPq4gbx5NW4eguQgKl_Lc34CGBZf-NVF4icIVgZA8ENRkZ385BS7JiQQo36QUwN7x3xAChBgk76_6hCWOIAUNPbki0YTEYa2IcUMt03Wz6gh5q_Mk_XrgKPxxrZyCOZJAj_PUvM4_zu_S6ZVO_oLks1Y2t3tT2dOATP8A7NwdNrvxvx1uryej_/s800/3%2017%2024%20(12).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="515" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9Z7WyDdPq4gbx5NW4eguQgKl_Lc34CGBZf-NVF4icIVgZA8ENRkZ385BS7JiQQo36QUwN7x3xAChBgk76_6hCWOIAUNPbki0YTEYa2IcUMt03Wz6gh5q_Mk_XrgKPxxrZyCOZJAj_PUvM4_zu_S6ZVO_oLks1Y2t3tT2dOATP8A7NwdNrvxvx1uryej_/w258-h400/3%2017%2024%20(12).JPG" width="258" /></a><b> </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>26 + 6 = 1 </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">From year to year the long list of marching units have generally the same roster as the year before. Some groups are new, and some drop out. Always there are old cars, horses, dogs, bagpipers, high school bands. People expect and enjoy seeing them. Other regular marchers are: construction trade unions, police, fire, military, festivals, and Catholic groups; this year very few businesses, and politicians. They have had them before. This year the lone politician is Irish, and has been in the parade for years. Thank Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all their carpenter, and fisherman friends that the repuke senator wannabees are not. The primary is on the following Tuesday. The Cleveland Columbus Day parade was infested with repuke candidates for state wide office. I wonder if any groups are not there on account of the one Ireland theme.

O is for orange, B is for black, the school colors. The school began play in 1894 with many boys who were not in school, but worked. In 1903 Massillon had a professional team in the Ohio League. The company that sold jerseys only had those that looked like Princeton Tigers. Later the high school became the Tigers. The school had a live Obie from 1970–2020. The 2022 season was greeted by a statue at the center of town. Alan Cottrill, a prolific Ohio sculptor, had some 50 bronze pieces welded to form an 8' running tiger footballer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHPhiiiR3EY8SyRBJmnOMC_C3UQdT6MXqCyi-RGznGzcSaMcn5mHZ3NEwTUvWzarMM2pwYgPJ4pK7sLYNOrEGNJ5yU6QXA2BpuKMsDWthm8FGC0jhKG2o5XYdGDCHzbWTfnSrM0Y47HI8BfX6wvM1nP_OwjlWo1fVbdy8ETIujjGZR9ALx_6GVNh4gaK2b/s800/obie%20one%20(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="586" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHPhiiiR3EY8SyRBJmnOMC_C3UQdT6MXqCyi-RGznGzcSaMcn5mHZ3NEwTUvWzarMM2pwYgPJ4pK7sLYNOrEGNJ5yU6QXA2BpuKMsDWthm8FGC0jhKG2o5XYdGDCHzbWTfnSrM0Y47HI8BfX6wvM1nP_OwjlWo1fVbdy8ETIujjGZR9ALx_6GVNh4gaK2b/w293-h400/obie%20one%20(1).JPG" width="293" /></a></div><p></p><p>Ohio has celebrated football in high school, college, and professional levels. Brown was successful everywhere he went, and it began at his alma mater high school. I think Obie is great, and cannot think of a better mascot in Ohio. Yes, he is better than Brutus Buckeye. Brutus has a statue inside an OSU building, and one outside a store bordering campus. Then there was that one time Brutus was tackled by Rufus Bobcat. As with the schools, Rufus is older (1960) than Brutus (1965).<br /></p><p>A mascot that has topped a list is Zippy (1953) the U of Akron kangaroo. One of the few female mascots. Zippy has played tuba for Christmas <a href="https://rustbeltvoice.blogspot.com/2019/12/late-december-fotos.html">[click]</a>. The Akron Zips were lucky to get her as a replacement, previously the Zip was a locally made rubber galosh. Akron was Rubber City. For Ohio high schools the most popular mascot name on a recent (2014) easy to read list <a href="https://www.ohsaa.org/Portals/0/News/Media/SchoolNickname-Ranking.pdf">[click]</a> is Tigers at 36. Eagles and Panthers were nipping at their heels at 35. <br /></p><p> Paul Brown has a statue outside Paul Brown Tiger Stadium next to the high school. He has one at Miami U, where he was starting quarterback as a junior and senior. In autumn of 2023, his birth town of Norwalk got a statue. The professional team in Cleveland is named after him. They have their headquarters at Berea. I went there, once, and saw a statue in front of the building. Thinking it would be of Brown, it was not, it was of a later team owner. Ohio State had its first national championship in 1942 with coach Brown, and after him many successful years. Cleveland has been for longer than a generation (33+ years) the worst team in professional football.</p>a catholic democrat from ohiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10211379197946032004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060591818681168325.post-30406043098937260752024-03-08T16:30:00.000-05:002024-03-08T16:30:32.149-05:00 now maybe a new trend<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8vUcH9bG1LpZVJzRYaldH5sDWiPffqCVFet8ewGxTxVZPD2PQ6Aly58BVe3DNjG5uMxHhPDSIceIABpWXxbcj-y76NB3E_7dpXfohei8JCW0jUhD-zlhpgIBZdmA5Ed8EgyW_t-6N_3fkfL0DPYPL-wNGgd1Xm5koo6vDmj6dRR45t-XkcxSx9CQayM/s800/biden%20cone.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="424" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8vUcH9bG1LpZVJzRYaldH5sDWiPffqCVFet8ewGxTxVZPD2PQ6Aly58BVe3DNjG5uMxHhPDSIceIABpWXxbcj-y76NB3E_7dpXfohei8JCW0jUhD-zlhpgIBZdmA5Ed8EgyW_t-6N_3fkfL0DPYPL-wNGgd1Xm5koo6vDmj6dRR45t-XkcxSx9CQayM/w400-h213/biden%20cone.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p>Another tourist spot to see in Cleveland.

After some four years of investigation<br />and litigation, the only error (“inadvertent,” of course) that they acknowledge is the tripling of<br />the size of the Trump Tower Penthouse, which cannot be gainsaid. Their complete lack of<br />contrition and remorse borders on pathological. They are accused only of inflating asset values<br />to make more money. The documents prove this over and over again. This is a venial sin, not a<br />mortal sin. Defendants did not commit murder or arson. They did not rob a bank at gunpoint.<br />Donald Trump is not Bernard Madoff. Yet, defendants are incapable of admitting the error of<br />their ways. Instead, they adopt a “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” posture that the<br />evidence belies.</i></span></span></p><p><i><span class="kY2IgmnCmOGjharHErah" style="-webkit-line-clamp: 3;"><span>This Court is not constituted to judge morality; it is constituted to find facts and apply the law.<br />In this particular case, in applying the law to the facts, the Court intends to protect the integrity<br />of the financial marketplace and, thus, the public as a whole.

He is the green man, a symbol of pagan, vegetable fertility. Some hippies, and later new agers have ran with the ball she put on the field.

The first canal boat left in 1827. The railroads took much of the canal business in the 1860s. After that canal system was used as a water source for business and industries. Summit Lake (Firestone) Pump House began in 1911 pumping water for the rubber companies, and waste water was fed into the lake. Some decades ago the pump house became idled. In the summer of 2021, the pump house became a nature center. Akron gave the building to Summit Metroparks, and they made it into a nature center, and are continuing to add and, this is important—upkeep and maintain the park.<br /><br />Also the lake was a site for parks beginning in the 1880s. Summit Beach Amusement Park was in operation from 1917 to 1958. It had the world's largest tile pool (75'x180'); the health department forbid swimming in the polluted lake. The Wisteria Ballroom claimed to be the world’s largest dance floor. A Ferris wheel, a roller rink, a carousel, and other amenities were there too. Rapid decline in quality came in the 1950s.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9eMZNIjwN3xCQi6QA_f6f9_mfWhopB7YJemntCl88-DIkTd4ftNX876BLuYxiZyZjbY9Ua0kC1kpEh5tN4hK0snua-YYo3klD7h_-WpzOhmU7BbxHdb3TCgxj51E76HO8KN2PGbNss5daWL2h7sueCIUutEGR-Xdfb7AsxypEpgM1NVYyT8VlJuHZdOot/s800/coots.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="674" data-original-width="800" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9eMZNIjwN3xCQi6QA_f6f9_mfWhopB7YJemntCl88-DIkTd4ftNX876BLuYxiZyZjbY9Ua0kC1kpEh5tN4hK0snua-YYo3klD7h_-WpzOhmU7BbxHdb3TCgxj51E76HO8KN2PGbNss5daWL2h7sueCIUutEGR-Xdfb7AsxypEpgM1NVYyT8VlJuHZdOot/w400-h338/coots.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>coots a.k.a. mudhens</b><br /></div><div>The lake above the buried sediment is clean to have much waterfowl now.

It sounds like a mechanical pulse. Canadian geese were plentiful, a few ring billed gulls, and some individuals of several duck species. Besides the ones shown below, there were mallards of course, but also redheads, canvasbacks, shovelers, ruddy, and bufflehead ducks.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibz7nxzvSfvtTRcGqRhaMhcmGDcZvzFsoM86behnFN-Km40Mv0XSzNkniaSDvVZQfSHCx4D0e32nhyphenhyphen3b211jZW29mLE0Oe4VEqcTKO71nVuE9jc6VrYmnhDAv9ClULwGyZxJck3SSM83T-7LU3EIt3gtO-7Vx9ungaIJYXAngDNrs_1O8WuJKGjOmumS2R/s800/oldsquaw.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="581" data-original-width="800" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibz7nxzvSfvtTRcGqRhaMhcmGDcZvzFsoM86behnFN-Km40Mv0XSzNkniaSDvVZQfSHCx4D0e32nhyphenhyphen3b211jZW29mLE0Oe4VEqcTKO71nVuE9jc6VrYmnhDAv9ClULwGyZxJck3SSM83T-7LU3EIt3gtO-7Vx9ungaIJYXAngDNrs_1O8WuJKGjOmumS2R/w400-h290/oldsquaw.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">male old squaw (now called long-tailed duck) in winter plumage, a sea duck<br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvOzx55kkqRgDaWdHCmNTrUFVirpIFQPuGaqHkStG8qHpUlKcSfOFGhE-dJ8RtEbxQZP9hPZOqP6PnM6MTHDsVy1gSFR3Kl8iMkvcNkoAVbeY2VWCD1mlrx7jF-IbCURYAYyv8Mu1D6SBZlPXJ3kyBnSt9yJBPyNtYJOnc_qqnRemqBVdsFveH86PD1eN/s800/scaup,%20oldsquaw.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="570" data-original-width="800" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvOzx55kkqRgDaWdHCmNTrUFVirpIFQPuGaqHkStG8qHpUlKcSfOFGhE-dJ8RtEbxQZP9hPZOqP6PnM6MTHDsVy1gSFR3Kl8iMkvcNkoAVbeY2VWCD1mlrx7jF-IbCURYAYyv8Mu1D6SBZlPXJ3kyBnSt9yJBPyNtYJOnc_qqnRemqBVdsFveH86PD1eN/w400-h285/scaup,%20oldsquaw.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">same bird with a lesser scaup<br /></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimLvVmI5ZdPSDhdqnN4XWHG64Bdwznudu2_jv4F46GRaW1pqzraGR4frXGRx_oaqG12oEjEVHwy1sQDP2rmOyFJk560NBQ46HrDG6RvOquYXijL3ok8QDx7T0NtUoNTFrY7wYQTvr2wDQpgZjjs8_5OdJTTbwBbCumdG8DaXMWNDHDJc6P0oA4dpvVwAA2/s800/h%20merg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimLvVmI5ZdPSDhdqnN4XWHG64Bdwznudu2_jv4F46GRaW1pqzraGR4frXGRx_oaqG12oEjEVHwy1sQDP2rmOyFJk560NBQ46HrDG6RvOquYXijL3ok8QDx7T0NtUoNTFrY7wYQTvr2wDQpgZjjs8_5OdJTTbwBbCumdG8DaXMWNDHDJc6P0oA4dpvVwAA2/w400-h213/h%20merg.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>male hooded merganser</b><br /></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJDfOXBht-5E6biJ7t-ZwDI-vftcN74NxHyZUlQ6L-djyYpCmjSmaQQyc-MVAK5suDeJJj5VaKm6nmarZqpC3LfoixnMAIzIlwIsF6S-ziVe15744EXfXCr_Z36P5DtwxJ-uPNSVk60h_FxjW9gdrK8wHIwONh4jlSUaiOsSwxkGEUxXGr_4tsKR6UvHi/s800/parking.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="571" data-original-width="800" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJDfOXBht-5E6biJ7t-ZwDI-vftcN74NxHyZUlQ6L-djyYpCmjSmaQQyc-MVAK5suDeJJj5VaKm6nmarZqpC3LfoixnMAIzIlwIsF6S-ziVe15744EXfXCr_Z36P5DtwxJ-uPNSVk60h_FxjW9gdrK8wHIwONh4jlSUaiOsSwxkGEUxXGr_4tsKR6UvHi/w400-h285/parking.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Parking is an ability some people are not good at.<br /></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1MkrY1HTXyN9ljjwFG0oPs-3Vhvmo3Qu4Ia6P61ejmFP5WF8nrrDeMC2DuQPGdOLXHAi4V2478GruefbovNPoXZvHguX0Hr9r7aLREn9FgvoSN_50Dh5mQCcO54rO04f3INkJHxVK4fj-V3cNO0XReQbIfRXmtHXOLaBgTjbQR4QRHi5nSVZKNoTbXC1/s801/wood%20grain%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="637" data-original-width="801" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1MkrY1HTXyN9ljjwFG0oPs-3Vhvmo3Qu4Ia6P61ejmFP5WF8nrrDeMC2DuQPGdOLXHAi4V2478GruefbovNPoXZvHguX0Hr9r7aLREn9FgvoSN_50Dh5mQCcO54rO04f3INkJHxVK4fj-V3cNO0XReQbIfRXmtHXOLaBgTjbQR4QRHi5nSVZKNoTbXC1/w400-h318/wood%20grain%20(1).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Between the lake and highway construction some tree removal was done.

In the brickwork is an Orthodox cross, the next occupant decided to put up a Latin cross up higher on a cupola with loudspeakers. When a church has a new congregation, there is often visual changes in style (often towards of reduced elegance, and when coupled with reduced maintenance, the resultant is entropic deterioration). Instead of an abandoned piano, there is an abandoned keyboard on the lowest step.

It has twin towers, and this wonderful diagonal brick bond pattern in the center, between unsound stack bonds. This particular denomination is in several cities, and the chief church is in Washington DC, with many of the same elements. Cedar and Union have stretches that have several black churches. The ones on Cedar are more impressive in architecture. The ones on Union are more plentiful, nondescript, and dilapidated, and some may be derelict.

No big news bulletin. It is not pleasant to be outside, and for those who can stay inside, it is a good choice. I haven't posted in a few days, and my mind wanders through subjects, some minor, some major.<br /><br />I see in language differences, some people are surprised that 'bakery' can be synonymous with pastry, or any non bread item that comes from a bakery. We have heard on the media, for years, 'barbecue' used this way. <i>"Hey, Melinda Sue, let's go get some barbecue"</i>. There was some other language thing that someone had a snit about, and i have forgotten what it was...well, maybe one day it will pop up in my mind while in the shower.<br /><br />Something is rotten with the American people. Donald Trump is undeniably evil, yet he is worshipped by millions. Psychiatrists diagnose him as a malignant narcissist with dementia. Someone so incompetent, stupid, and sadistic to be successful as he was in receiving such great political power must be allied with demonic forces. Of course, many psychiatrists have no belief in the supernatural; but logical cause and effect can not explain Orange Caligula. Those in his thrall love the cruelty, even if it destroys themselves. In Iowa he told his worshippers, <i>"You can't sit home. If you're sick as
a dog, you say: 'God, I gotta make it.' Even if you vote and then pass
away, it's worth it"</i>. He also told the trumpster stupids, <i>"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute.
One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by
injection inside or almost a cleaning...". </i>Well, the original Caligula said<i>, "Would that the Roman people had but one neck!"</i>...so he could strangle, break it, or cut it off.<i> </i>Now, Trumple-thin-skin is repeatedly mentioning Al Capone being murderous if one looked at him wrongly.<i><br /></i></p><p>Vanishing America, </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC9NQhTa9ATjxyNLSV0o_wmIzc4X_tEYTs10ds0q-9POHggYtsX4CYkTcwj8kO_qhIoxO0zsgTfA2Mp_aisMdthsHS_6QYmri-FWw0fb51R3m9CzdAN896KQ0Dh8Zipn3hKDDDAAiEJ-UlikAlE-i6L5YX4TxcKaDRjFVVOxvQE59qZ8yOTU9Ni3beBI9H/s1024/Julian%20Hoke%20Harris.%20Keeping%20Away%20Death.%201959..jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="556" data-original-width="1024" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC9NQhTa9ATjxyNLSV0o_wmIzc4X_tEYTs10ds0q-9POHggYtsX4CYkTcwj8kO_qhIoxO0zsgTfA2Mp_aisMdthsHS_6QYmri-FWw0fb51R3m9CzdAN896KQ0Dh8Zipn3hKDDDAAiEJ-UlikAlE-i6L5YX4TxcKaDRjFVVOxvQE59qZ8yOTU9Ni3beBI9H/w400-h217/Julian%20Hoke%20Harris.%20Keeping%20Away%20Death.%201959..jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Julian Hoke Harris. <i>Keeping Away Death.</i> 1959.

When looking at American religious denominations, there they are: déclassé, and gauche. This American Protestantism gloms on to whatever is current in the larger society. They purposely appeal to the lowest common denominator, any hook will be fished. Most neon signs were used for commercial purposes: restaurants, saloons, and such.<br /></p><p>Then i remembered. We often are vexed at things we have done ourselves. Around 1995, another fellow and myself were caught in a foto published by Cleveland Plain Dealer. We were on a steeple removing neon lights about the cross, it needed regassing. Years before, during WWII, the original church burned down. Malachi's could be seen from the lake, and i heard that its steeple was used as a landmark. When the new church was built after the war, the cross was meant to be seen from the lake. I do not know when the original installation of the light was. Back to the picture, i was suspicious about the photographer. The sky was beginning to look ominous, and dumdum had an aluminum ladder. This was the time when OSHA was made to be a bogeyman. I made sure my back was to the camera.<br /></p><p>I remember once in the twentieth century an OSHA man came to construction at the new baseball park, and once to a hospital building going up. Foremen were only worried about extension outlets. There was a job in Beachwood, where i was working for a replacement contractor. Every other trade was scab, some from out of state. They were hiring off the streets. It was a very unsafe job site. One day we were working, and we noticed all the other trades were gone from the building. We saw them standing in the parking lot. OSHA was on site. They can't cite you, when you are not working. Me and another journeyman showed the guy around, and pointing out hazards. All he did was put caution tape around the porta potty. Some miscreant shat in the pisser portion, and gravel was strewn about. That didn't effect me, i went to a nearby fast food joint anyway. I quit that job, the shop was full of creeps. I never saw OSHA in this century.</p><p>Well, many churches had sign boards, before and after some started using neon.

Very early in the Trump régime, his chief spokes liar Spicy Sean was subjected to ridicule, which led to his dismissal. SatNiteLive had Melissa McCarthy parody him, it was most excellent. I read this upset Donnie McPervert, in that a woman mocked his underling. My reaction, as others did think, they should have had Rosie O'Donnell play Trumple-thin-skin. They actually had a brilliant mini-film with Leslie Jones. Then they dropped the ball. So often, SatNiteLive lets the crop wither in the field, and then offers crap instead. Leslie Jones should have had the rôle permanently.</p><p>Someone posted a chat about what prison would be appropriate for Orange Caligula. My answer was Arkham Asylum. Cheatolini as a super villain.

People under sixty have shook off the defensiveness, and many have embraced it as the municipal mascot. A Parma sign had been rather recently put in place. A local politico, and former history teacher, wanted a sculpture of one by the sign. Since flamingos are pink, (pink is also the color of the breast cancer health campaign), a man who has been touched by the loss of a wife and daughter to breast cancer gave $2,000 to pay for a statue. An aluminum seven footer has made it to Parma from California. The feet are cast with words <i>"made in Mexico"</i>. Along with the statue, a stand with a slot to hold phone cameras has been placed in front of the sign.

The clunky sign has been removed, and the original stone is visible. Cleveland had bath (showers) from 1904 to 1954. Ten were built, the last one in 1921. They began to have gym facilities, pools, and meeting rooms. The city buildings were built well. Some became rec-centers, others demolished, one is currently condominiums. They were needed for public health. Neighbourhoods were densely populated in poverty. Housing conditions were below standard. Water was heated by coal, and coal cost money that wasn't always there. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-RFKc2-rizdA7KWT9OUX3K4yJcjyEckmgg3fxDWegMvdvPqa1UAJeQnGNB6Xb-bp5hag4eNThsAhJCnP75lQfjHpNgnof5yhbLEEZuVbi6JGPCkxOX_k6sqMJSlWg7Bg7-wEqTm_L90d0oNbsMsb-3CPtgmvSKqibwTjZIHAopciGKCxz70_uS0ot-QDX/s800/12%2025%2023%20(33).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-RFKc2-rizdA7KWT9OUX3K4yJcjyEckmgg3fxDWegMvdvPqa1UAJeQnGNB6Xb-bp5hag4eNThsAhJCnP75lQfjHpNgnof5yhbLEEZuVbi6JGPCkxOX_k6sqMJSlWg7Bg7-wEqTm_L90d0oNbsMsb-3CPtgmvSKqibwTjZIHAopciGKCxz70_uS0ot-QDX/w400-h300/12%2025%2023%20(33).JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto">Cleveland Christmas morning steel mill, which has had many names.</span><br /><p></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060591818681168325.post-61969234098031579732023-12-24T00:01:00.001-05:002023-12-24T00:01:00.135-05:00year's end<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi81BZpflIMYfoIVi0GG_sP-7HWwR_SG_kcmREcSMiO7cVoVkLmUULl4PKZKynIn0jIb85GyB8VYkI2GeppdNQZIOvLehetvEvBnALmEtPL9fGNGlb0hc99nU7K-xpGli-ZYwdZ2wEU-hqQSMERk1MkjT3OGK0_maYdOeztYcmJGPM_pJCpdcE6eIDWhwwH/s800/12%2013%2023%20john.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi81BZpflIMYfoIVi0GG_sP-7HWwR_SG_kcmREcSMiO7cVoVkLmUULl4PKZKynIn0jIb85GyB8VYkI2GeppdNQZIOvLehetvEvBnALmEtPL9fGNGlb0hc99nU7K-xpGli-ZYwdZ2wEU-hqQSMERk1MkjT3OGK0_maYdOeztYcmJGPM_pJCpdcE6eIDWhwwH/w400-h300/12%2013%2023%20john.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><b>13 December [foto:jz] 30°F and falling.</b> We went to walk our hound, and see some Christmas lights. Independence puts up a lot, with recorded music, and we see more deer than people. It was cloudless. I had not brought a camera, because we have seen these lights before. The sky was black, there was no wind, a rime was only about to form as we were leaving. I had my nephew take fotos with his phone.

This is a bird of the north Pacific. One was seen in Ohio, in 1951. This is the second one recorded. I was there to view him, He was visible on strong binoculars, and mounted scopes. He was on the borderline of naked eye vision. I took fotos, but he was just a smudge. The foto supra is one of many waves of red breasted mergansers that fly over Lake Erie.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii5GpIVVlJn0rseM6OKHhuCvEwmzM6zPTBD29al6PsZI3oaAYZ8kMY9GlBQvxnTu5yzkMAOMXpLuRRxVtzycRxuEFECmBneHh_sBt9hiioxuOA0k_v7LOTXEyeYt4WssXtWX2bwNaeH2G_yeOMzgzgTwg3YB4Kgmkmyi7qoiF9udxbmvmSkR1Olf47YYHR/s800/12%2022.%2023%20(14).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="719" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii5GpIVVlJn0rseM6OKHhuCvEwmzM6zPTBD29al6PsZI3oaAYZ8kMY9GlBQvxnTu5yzkMAOMXpLuRRxVtzycRxuEFECmBneHh_sBt9hiioxuOA0k_v7LOTXEyeYt4WssXtWX2bwNaeH2G_yeOMzgzgTwg3YB4Kgmkmyi7qoiF9udxbmvmSkR1Olf47YYHR/w360-h400/12%2022.%2023%20(14).JPG" width="360" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Christmas robed dolphin holding a mailbox in Bay Village.</div><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
