La route 66 est une ancienne route américaine qui reliait Chicago à Santa Monica, entre les années 1926 et 1985 aux États-Unis. Sa longueur a beaucoup varié au gré des années et des remaniements de son tracé, notamment à partir de 1937, où la route 66 a desservir la ville de Santa Fe, au Nouveau-Mexique.…

Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Acres, Chapter 3 section II

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post shows section II of the rough draft of Chapter 3, of my non-fiction WiP, Baby Acres, completing chapter 3.

Since this is a rough draft, and I am very keen to hear suggestions if they improve the ideas presented here, as they are still in flux, please do share your thoughts per the Action Items at the bottom of this post.

And once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases. This chapter will transition to a chapter (2-5) for each phase, showing what Phases I-IV could look like as part of a possible roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us. This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind will eventually have each person’s basic needs met, without taking anything from anyone, and without violence, intimidation…

Good People Doing Good Things — Humanitarians

Filosofa's Word

I have just a few good ‘people’ today, not because I couldn’t find more, but because I ran out of energy … again.  But, I think you’ll enjoy these … gives us hope that humanity does still exist.


One heck of a tip!

The staff at Wahoo Seafood Grill in Gainesville, Florida, got a rather pleasant surprise last Tuesday.  A party of three came in, had what must have been a pretty nice meal, for the tab came to over $144 after a $63 discount!  But the kicker was the gratuity or tip.  Take a look at the receipt …

After the group finished their meal, the man asked the entire restaurant staff to come to the dining area.  He thanked all 10 of them for showing up and working hard. Then something incredible happened. He told them he was giving them $1,000 each!

Said the restaurant’s owner, Sean Shepherd…

Balloon Juice | The Failure In Afghanistan Was the Result of Everyone Wanting to Grade Their Own Homework (Me: Important read)

Right now the Non-combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) is going very well. There was two or three days at the outset that were bumpy, but I don’t think that’s surprising. The first few days of almost every operation are. That’s not an excuse, it’s just reality. Since then we’ve evacuated almost 40,000 people from Afghanistan. I expect that by the time those of us in the US, Canada, and Mexico are awake tomorrow that we’ll be around, if not over, 50,000 evacuated. It is also important to keep pointing out that despite everyone in the news media, the punditariat, and the various national security experts that have spent the past week to ten days screaming the Biden administration is failing, President Biden has lost the plot, why wasn’t Biden and his team prepared, and why didn’t they do something earlier, THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE ISSUED AN EVACUATION ORDER FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS IN AFGHANISTAN BACK IN MAY!!!!!!

A Jamaican People post

RIP Dr. Knight

Petchary's Blog

At the moment, I am celebrating Jamaicans. Not “celebrities” – I am not fond of celebrities in general. They serve no purpose, except for filling endless Instagram posts and providing employment for photographers and videographers. They are in a world of their own, one that I am not interested in and not impressed by.

When I write my news posts (one is long overdue, but the news has been overwhelmed by COVID-19) I try to keep a little section for People. However, I often miss people out that I wanted to talk about.

So, here goes – a few Jamaicans who have been in the news lately (one or two, unfortunately, in a negative way, and some in a sad way)…

On the COVID-19 front, our Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jacqueline Bisasor-McKenzie, who is basically an established superstar, continues to work incredibly hard. Lately, another in the formidable all-woman team…
