East Cleveland, Ohio has a history of mobile traffic cameras.  The cameras are operated by a private company, American Traffic Solutions.    (ATS's web site has a  map of their US operations.)    Realneo carried the image above in 2009.

When NYC Mayor Bloomberg indicated that the Occupy Wall Street petitioning in Zuccotti Park needed to be closed down for pressure washing and sanitizing, he got me thinking.....

The operation of our federal government out of one location, Washington D.C., plays directly into the hands of corporate “citizens” and operates directly  against the interests of citizen citizens.

 Representative Tim Ryan and others have successfully pulled the federal financing of the Ohio governor's  "study" re: selling the Ohio Turnpike. 

Read about it on Ryan's web site here.

Civil Disobedience is in order and today on the Brooklyn Bridge we got a little - the BBC reports in the foregoing link.

Finally, citizens are beginning to have the confidence in their convictions  that citizens expressed in the 1960's against the Viet Nam War.

Let's go!  

We are way overdue.

My friend David Sherman has been flat on his back in bed for two years. 

Could be depression.

When you travel around the USA you will notice that there are lots of new grain silos - shiny galvanized tanks with elevators and gravity distribution tubes.

The old, much smaller volume, wire enclosed corn cribs are empty - just poison ivy growing on them. 

(I will get some images up here to demonstrate these structures)

What has brought about the vast new storage facilities in our long established agricultural areas?  

If you have ever tried to carry 50 or 100 pounds on a conventional two wheel  bicycle you know that there is no adequate, safe, balanced way to do it.  Moving heavy cargo or more than one passenger on a bike in the United States isn’t happening. 

But we have 550hp Ford Mustangs! which we love! So testosterone!

 Shhhh,  don't read this...

The BBC reports that New York City Mayor Bloomberg is concerned that social unrest could come to the streets of New York City.   

Finally, the public may be realizing that congress and politics as usual isn't going to get the job done.   

Occupy Wall Street.org has been organizing a peaceful public presence as described by NY1 here.

Does it desecrate the United States of America flag to sleep in it?  

That's one question.

Then there is another question:

Does it desecrate the United States of America for a homeless person to store their sleeping bag flag bedding in a tree in a park during the day when the homeless person needs to be away from their park?

Anyway, just askin'

It is clear why the coral mushroom got its name - because the mushroom looks so similar to sea coral.

While the sea coral growns in water, the mushroom grows in air.    

Why the similar architecture when the growth medium is liquid vs gas?

There is homelessness everywhere - in the US, in Canada, South America, Europe, etc. - and you see cardboard sleep matts and duffles waiting in unlikely spots for their owner's return.    Maybe the safest place for a homeless person to leave their few possesions during the day - is tucked behind a column right on the public sidewalk!  

 Human communication is caught in either the aural (doesn't go that far), the radio (goes a long, long way), the visual (smoke signals, goes for light years), and perhaps other modes not yet developed.  

I believe,the  following sage advice about > scams

You can see this exact design all across North America - and just about anywhere else there are 53 foot tractor trailers used for goods delivery and automobiles used to transport the shoppers.

Walmart, HomeDepot, grocery stores, BJs....

 Here's a sport where you rely on technology.    Jump out of a plane and wait for the chute to deploy.

Story in progress...

The bats were out eating the fury flurry of mosquitos, the woods were alive with water noises from the brook.   

In the open field where there was still a touch of daylight the willy nilly gardens were bursting with pumpkins, sunflowers and ripe red tomatoes.
