2026 Miscellany #2 — ice edition

Scranton Flats, Cuyahoga River 16 February

When most of Lake Erie is frozen over, spots on the Cuyahoga are often clear. The thermal pollution warms the water, and the ducks and other birds have a place to land and swim. Still, corpses of those who either froze, or starved to death are seen.

mostly red breasted mergansers, common winter visitors/migrants

Sunlight did not help this one, on Scranton in Cleveland, a dog care business.

A local television news story mentioned these placards/posters appearing in Cleveland on vacant commercial buildings.  I wonder, whether this is nation wide.  I suppose the supporters of American Gestapo are none too pleased.  Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi as a rapster uses the name Kid Cudi.  As a painter, he is Scotty Ramon. These posters are signed Scotty Ramon.

Eileen Dorsey has painted a few brick walls in Old Brooklyn Cleveland.  This was on Broadview.

This is to the right of the entrance. Some masking tape still attached when photographed in December.

One of the most corrupt companies in America is this particular electric virtual monopoly we have in this part of Ohio. They have owned the state government, and have fought off their indictments and sentences over illegal activities with political intervention. They are corrupt, dishonest, disingenuous, in short—quite evil. The Public Utilities Commission grants nearly their every demand. They try to fool their customers with heavy handed, or light propaganda. In this attempt, they give me a "tip" to save on their charges to me:  drink coffee in a thermos. I drank coffee in a thermos on the job for years, including their Ohio Edison plant in Vermilion on Lake Erie at 15°F. What they want me to sit on a bucket in the garage and drink it now. I am pretty sure their management teams will be asking for ice water in Hell.

I think the ice cross was constructed Monday, also for Theophany.
