2018 Miscellany #12

Several of the following pictures, i have posted on facebook. I prefer this social media platform, but few people i know will see it here, a few might see it on the one formerly named. Several practices of facebook turn me off. Besides, here i can form my foto essays as i wish. Facebook discourages reading.

What is going on here? This mite-a-shooda-been on the Hallowe'en post. It is John Niedzialek in a top hat holding Casimir, his weather predicting cat on February 2nd. 

Students at Willson Elementary painted the rain barrels at St. Casimir. There have been freezing nights, and winter is either coming or is here. The rain barrels were full, so to prevent possible popsicles cracking the barrels, they were emptied.

"NETWORK’s Nuns on the Bus are on the road again — for the first time in two years — to hold members of Congress accountable for their votes on the 2017 Tax Bill and the many attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The Nuns on the Bus “On the Road to Mar-a-Lago” tour includes 54 events in 21 states over the course of 27 days. The tour launched with a rally in Los Angeles on Monday, October 8 and will end at Mar-a-Lago in Florida with a “Fiesta for the Common Good” on Friday, November 2.

Our Goal: To tell the truth about the Republican Tax Law and hold elected officials accountable for their votes. We know that this tax policy hurts our communities while giving handouts to the wealthiest in our nation. Nuns on the Bus are encouraging voters to focus electoral energy on reasonable revenue for responsible programs ahead of the 2018 midterms."

Cassius is an odd wolf. He and Captain were raised as good Catholic hounds. Cassius has often snorkled his food, sometimes there is shrapnel, and often he leaves a very small bit, sometimes one pellet of kibble, sort of like a Buddhist offering.

Well, even people who like music like to poke fun at certain instruments. How often do you see a banjo player in black tie? I heard the Cleveland Bluegrass Orchestra play, for the first time. They played for an hour, it seemed less. 'Shenandoah' could have been played longer, it was beautiful.
