Flowers everywhere

Submitted by Oldroser on Mon, 02/11/2013 - 00:13.

 I wish I had had my camera the other day. I saw white flowers intermingled with the other colors cascading over a wall when Brody and I walked to the next little town. Almost all the walls are like this.

This is on the road to Guatemala City,

Typical street, see the cobblestones.

 

Antigua, Guatemala almost always a blue, blue sky

 No Seasonal Affective Disorder here. I really enjoy seeing the blue, blue sky here.

 After helping me translate with the carpenter who built the bench and ordering more, we walked a good ways and encountered a street artist doing cartoons.

So I ordered one of the three of us and had it framed.

Brenda says she is not that short.

It really doesn't show Angel's curls well.

But it sure shows I have the Hinkle jowls!

 

 

I've also been shopping for furniture.

 Although my apartment is furnished, I still need some furniture. I can't afford the furniture in many shops, "antiques". But I was walking down the street the other day and saw beautiful furniture inside. 

I sort of overdid my shopping

 The other day I went to El Carmen, where people go to offer their hand crafted goods for sale, giving more opportunity to spread out than at the main, huge market.

It was getting dark and closing time, so the vendors really bargained with me, offering even bigger discounts if I would buy one more piece.

 I arranged for a vet to come to my home, pick up my dog, groom him and bring him back. The cost was the equivalent of about $30. When he return Brody, he told me that everyone there loved my dog. 

Brody gets walked three times a day and has lost weight and regained his waist. He runs up to everyone, begging for attention and petting. The guards at the entrance of this gated community will call him over and pick him up to pet him.

Iranian ship saves American lives, their freighter attacked by pirates

Submitted by Oldroser on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 08:36.

SF Gate, home of the San Francisco Chronicle, May 23, 2012: The Iranian Navy is said to have rescued the U.S.-flagged US-flagged Maersk Texas, which was beseigned by several pirate ships in the GUlf of Oman, coming to its rescue after hearing its distress signal. The pirates fled as soon as they saw the warship appear.

The Maersk's corporate offices, however, denied it, saying the Iranian Navy was the first to respond after sending the distress signal but weren't helped by them, instead Iran's navy provided guidance to the crew of the Maersk Texas by radio.

Important upcoming ODOT meetings! NOT listed in TWDC Newsletter

Submitted by Oldroser on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 00:31.
I had been told in a email that at the meeting THIS WEDNESDAY, June 6, at Sokolowski’s (no time given, but they have been starting at 5:30 p.m.) ODOT and their design consultant would meet with the local community to discuss streetscape options along 14th Street and Abbey Avenue. One idea under consideration is the use of excess right-of-way (excess???, are they giving up on the parking lot, which shows future parking taking even more space as per last meeting that discussed this) as a community garden or urban orchard.
 

The ODOT saga continues

I haven't been updating this because I was spending a great deal of time researching environmental justice, one of the main goals of transportation. It requires providing timely and meaningful opportunities for participation and comment by representatives of potentially affected low income and minority communities and to address disproportionately high and adverse effects, including mitigation measures and consideration of alternatives that would avoid or reduce the disproportionately high and adverse effects.
