I'm making some headway on my cleaning. Going to get back on it again today. * - - - - - * I found some slides the other day and so I used my HP Scanner to convert them from slides to digital images. These pictures were taken in the late 70's early 80's after a winter storm blew over a tree on our roof. As I recall it did about $5,000 dollars worth of damage. It wasn't long after that that I had two very large trees removed. It was a good thing too because they both had rot inside them. * - - - - - *

THE AMERICAN OBSERVER 2 OF 9
Simon on Fact and Fiction:
Dickensian childIn his extended conversation with Bill Moyers, David Simon touched not only on the plight of America's cities, the drug war and prison numbers and the state of the news media, but also on the art of telling hard truths through stories rather than statistics. I started to realize "Dickensian" was a shorthand for "I don't really actually care about the underlying economic dynamic that is creating this nightmare. I don't want to examine that. I just want some sweet stories about some kids who are poor and are being hurt. I could win a prize in that. Be Dickensian." And I thought it was sort of an affront to Dickens almost. I mean, if Dickens heard it, I think he would have gotten mad. * *HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR 401K LATELY
