July 26, 2012 · Filed under Environment. So today I got up at 6:30, drank coffee, ate breakfast, puttered around and at 8:50 checkedt the clock. Oops! Cars by any comparison seem so convenient, so quick. Five minutes later, I was halfway to work, BBC Newshour reporters informing me on NPR, coffee mug in the cup holder, broad-brimmed hat blocking the slowly climbing sun. At that point, I passed a 99 bus. In a hot state designed for automobiles, riding the bus takes determination and some sacrifice. I ...

Red Shirts | Ginger56's Weblog
https://ginger56.wordpress.com/2009/02/24/red-shirts
February 24, 2009 · Filed under politics. Wear a red shirt Friday and support our troops. It’s a sign an email says that you love this country, appreciate what the military is doing to protect your way of life, are one of the majority of Americans. Oh, and believe in God. The people who don’t wear red shirts? That wars have been necessary or at least in the last event unavoidable (World War 2 comes to mind, possibly the Civil War? Argue with me peaceniks: I want to be convinced they’re all wrong! In fact...

Heresy: Wrestling to a Draw. January 25, 2009 · Filed under religion and spirituality. I began today before church with some reading in Andrew Harvey’s. That is, if other paths will work, why is this one there at all (I guess that’s a standard argument against any new plan: but the old one works fine. But this one seeks to be axiomatic.). Thus redeemed by surrender to Christ (not by Jesus. Sin is separation and blindness. We are separate from God not because we do what is wrong but because we cannot ...

Rat! Pig? Me or them? | Ginger56's Weblog
https://ginger56.wordpress.com/2009/05/23/rat-pig-me-or-them
May 23, 2009 · Filed under home and hearth. Pure journal (more or less). 183 Tagged home and hearth. This week I’ve been “bach-ing” it while my husband’s off fishing near the keys. Now that I’m 50-something, apparently my paranoia index has gone up. I obsessed every night over locked doors and strategized what I’d do in a home invasion. I’m not COMPLETELY crazy: just last week up the street, a young man was put in critical condition by 2 armed, masked men who have not been caught.). It’s a problem&...

Could the “Best and Brightest?” be “The Enemy of the Good?” | Ginger56's Weblog
https://ginger56.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/could-the-best-and-brightest-be-the-enemy-of-the-good
Could the “Best and Brightest? 8221; be “The Enemy of the Good? March 28, 2009 · Filed under Uncategorized. And poor Geithner is answering his own phones, I hear, on top of all his other woes. Well, OK, not really, but he can’t do his job right and the author blames it partly on a too high standard for the vetting process that’s keeping the offices empty when we need all hands on deck. According to the article, we should just let these folks pay their back taxes and move in. If Geithner didn’t know...

Sylvia’s Children . . . Make that Child. April 7, 2009 · Filed under literature and books. Pure journal (more or less). In second grade, we learned that Lincoln’s mother, Nancy Hanks, had died of milk sickness when he was very young. Get close to the dead and you’re done for. I never grieved for Robert Lowell–who knows why? Maybe Nicholas’ life was a triumph of sorts–he outlived Sylvia by 15 years. His father died some years ago–naturally, so at least his son spared him that terribl...So I wondered about...

Wealth is not Worth: Response to NYT | Ginger56's Weblog
https://ginger56.wordpress.com/2009/03/07/economy-and-class
Wealth is not Worth: Response to NYT. March 7, 2009 · Filed under economy. This morning seeking new viewpoints, I went to the conservatives–conservative Democrats like Evan Bayh (a wonderful governor and senator with whom I probably agree about the spending bill) and a Wall Street Journal opinionist whose argument against Mr. Obama’s approach includes these comments:. To work, save and invest . . .”. Money may be power, but power, as the suddenly much-praised Canadian government and culture seem to compr...
