Saw this on the grounds of Papa John's Corporate Headquarters here in Louisville - he really has quite a story (from Wikipedia):
The Papa John's restaurant franchise was founded in 1983 when "Papa" John Schnatter knocked out a broom closet in the back of his father's tavern, Mick's Lounge, in Jeffersonville, Indiana.[4] He then sold his 1971 Z28 Camaro to purchase $1,600 worth of used pizza equipment and began selling pizzas to the tavern's customers out of the converted closet.[5] His pizzas proved so popular that one year later he was able to move into an adjoining space. In 2009, Schnatter got the Camaro back by contacting the family that he sold the car to in 1983.[6]

From our tour guide - the Franciscan monks who used the bones of approximately 5000 corpses, built this to send a message to the nobles that in death, no one can tell the difference between the rich and the poor, royal or common.
At Beckley Park (part of The Parklands of Floyds Fork there is plenty of room and activities for everyone - playgrounds and spray parks for kids, walking, scenic views, hiking, biking and jogging trails, 4 canoe and kayak access points (hopefully they'll have rentals there one day), mountain biking, sports fields for kicking around a soccer ball or a friendly football game, throwing frisbees, etc... a fabulous Bark Park, Community Gardens, K-6 Science Camps, school field trips, Family Programs, community workshops, birthday parties, Interpretive Hikes, Scout Programs, and so much more! It is an incredibly beautiful facility! Just needs more parking spaces for the fishing lakes). 1411 Beckley Creek Parkway, Louisville, KY 40245

....aka bags of litter. I'm hoping they'll extend these in both directions - they do work extremely well. Initially spotted them 7AM this morning - they're still there as of 9:49PM.
Convoluted. Market St Philadelphia, PA #LetsGuide
Shooting through shop glass; seeing in and out simultaneous.
Penn Station, Philadelphia
This is my brother, Bob.
Bob has a heart of gold. He could not hurt a fly. He was a great tour guide when we visited him in Philadelphia. He took us to see a surround sound movie of Alaska years ago- it was wonderful - I still have the brochure somewhere. He knew all the bus routes incredibly well. He relayed his many adventures and kind hearted deeds throughout the years. He said yesterday he'd taken an 8-yr old girl to a Philles ball game as her dream was to see the Philly Phanatic. She got her wish!
Today (April 25, 2024) is his birthday. He will be 74 today. I just spoke with him and he sounds happy. His voice mail is not set up and I'm unsure whether he would be able to access it anyway. That is a frequent issue for so many people.
Bob is currently living in the York House Apartments in Philadelphia. He does have TBI and has previously had a brain aneurysm. As of this date (june 18, 2021) we are hoping he is still alive as he is no longer returning calls. He has recently switched healthcare providers which has now dis-enrolled him from a program he enlisted in to get help. He may not have been aware of the ramifications of doing so. He has a wonderful lady named Leah D'Agostino from Allegheny who was helping him with this and she was associated with his previous healthcare provider. She was trying to get him a hospital bed once his building manager, Laura Reed, gave the ok. This building has 12 floors total, I am told. Leah had enlisted a wonderful man named Norman (with a difficult to spell last name) who was helping Bob and he is in touch with Leah. Leah has not heard from Bob either so she is going over to see if he is still alive. He lives on the 4th floor of this hi-rise building. He has had much trouble getting help for his basic needs as he is no longer able to articulate those needs coherently.as many trained professionals have looked away.. We hope Leah can turn that around. In speaking with Laura Reed just now she indicated she has seen him and of course for privacy reasons, cannot say anything more than that because the protection of their seniors living there is their concern. Laws are, after all, made to protect residents and their best interests. We have spaces on forms for ONE or TWO contacts, at most, and being a contact can sometimes be confusing.
Reminder to self: Cousin Harold is trying to get in touch with brother Bob however now we have lost contact with Cousin Harold who is somewhere in the Northwest.
Update: July 25 ,2021 - Bob returned a call today. He now has a hospital bed which Leah was able to secure for him. This weekend while this hospital bed was at it's highest position, the cord for the bed fell from the outlet. Bob has been unable to attach it - he says his nurse's aid has not returned in months and most of his clothing has been removed by this aide to launder and has not been returned. He sounds quite distraught. He has also lost his bank card. I do not know how or if he is able to take his medication. Please pray for Brother Bob. If anyone reading this lives near or is able to travel to 5325 Old York Road, Apt. 402, Phila., PA 19141 - please tell my Brother to stay strong - there is a higher power out there - I do not know where but there is one. Bob is in hospice care.
Update: Received a phone call from Mr. Gregory Benjamin from adult protective services inquiring about Bob. Mr. Benjamin said there was an ongoing investigation regarding Bob and asked me if I saw any "red flags" when speaking with Bob last. I have not felt any more red flags than usual other than Bob has now said he is in acute amount of pain and he is now totally confined to a wheelchair. When I had asked Bob how he was he said, "terrible", as opposed to his usual "I'll make it". So yes, there is some concern.
Today, Dec. 3. 2022, I received a phone call from Bob - it was a short call.
Update: April 25, 2023 - Bob is missing again. I've been told he is in a hospital although I am unable to locate him. His son, who is out west, says he has not heard from him but wants to be kept updated which I will. Unless I hear otherwise soon I will file a missing person's report. His current phone is being answered by someone else.
Update: May 16, 2023 - Spoke with a rep from the York House Senior Living Apts - the lady said she has seen him but that is all she can tell me. Don't know if it was in a vision, in the streets, in a hospital, a viewing or at home. HIPPA laws suck.
Update: April 23 2024 - Spoke w Brother Bob today - he sounds great. He said he has an appt. at Temple University Hospital to get his hearing aid checked again. He did receive his birthday cards I sent him 5 days apart, on time, as his birthday is April 25th.. They were sent from different mail boxes. Said he took an 8 year old girl to the Phillies game as she wanted to see the Philly Phanatic. All's well.
****Critical Update!!!!
Yesterday, July 24, 2024 at 3:16PM Brother Bob's heart gave out after repeatedly coding on and off and finally coding for 15 minutes in the ER and ICU.
The initial call from Dr. Eman Hamad came in at 12:47PM yesterday afternoon. She is indeed a wise, compassionate, prestigious brilliant Doctor. I cannot thank Dr. Hamad and all of the other people at Temple University Hospital for giving Bob the best care in the world. www.templehealth.org/doctors/eman-hamad
Brother Bob had never relayed to any of his family or to me that he was battling Stage 4 Lung Cancer. It's been a long road home for him in Philadelphia. He was happy there. I do not know the date when he was given this diagnosis.
As of right now we are waiting to hear from the morgue, where his body was taken to, as well as his general practitioner. As always - on standby.
Update: We did finally find his body. He was cremated and his ashes transported to his family. RIP Brother Bob. We will never forget you.

Locomotive Horn Signals
Ever wondered why the UP locomotives running on the track just down the block always sound their horns four times when approaching your street? Or heard a whole series of short whistle blasts and wondered what they meant? Horns are sounded for safety reasons – to warn of approaching trains. The following list "translates" some of those horn signals. The "o" indicates short sounds and "=" is for longer sounds. The General Code of Operating Rules (GCOR) contains information on horn use. These rules are frequently updated, and for the most up to date information, the sources of record are the GCOR, General Orders, Subdivision General Orders and Superintendent Bulletins.
Sound / Indication
Succession of short soundsThe whistle is sounded in an attempt to attract attention to the train. It is used when persons or livestock are on the track at other-than-road crossings at grade.
=When train is stopped. The air brakes are applied and pressure is equalized.
= =Train releases brakes and proceeds.
o oAcknowledgment of any signal not otherwise provided for.
o o oWhen train is stopped: means backing up, or acknowledgment of a hand signal to back up.
o o o oA request for a signal to be given or repeated if not understood.
= o o oInstruction for flagman to protect rear of train.
= = = =The flagman may return from west or south.
= = = = =The flagman may return from east or north.
= = o =Train is approaching public crossings at grade with engine in front.
o =Inspect the brake system for leaks or sticking brakes.
= o
Train is approaching men or equipment on or near the track, regardless of any whistle prohibitions.
After this initial warning, "o o" sounds intermittently until the head end of train has passed the men or equipment.
Horn Signals: A Proven Safety Precaution
On April 27, 2005, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which enforces rail safety regulations, published the Final Rule on the Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings. Effective June 24, 2005, the Final Rule requires that locomotive horns be sounded at all public grade crossings 15-20 seconds before entering a crossing, but not more than one-quarter mile in advance.
The pattern for blowing the horn remains two long, one short, and one long sounding to be repeated as necessary until the locomotive clears the crossing. Locomotive engineers will retain the authority to vary this pattern as necessary for crossings in close proximity. Locomotive engineers will be allowed to sound the horn in emergency situations consistent with the Final Rule.
A ban on locomotive horns in Florida was ordered removed by the FRA after it was shown that the accident rate doubled during the ban. The Final Rule preempts any state or local laws regarding the use of the train horn at public crossings. The Final Rule also provides public authorities the option to maintain and/or establish quiet zones provided certain supplemental or alternative safety measures are in place and the crossing accident rate meets FRA standards.

VERY NOBLE AND ALWAYS LOYAL CITY OF ÉVORA
In Praça do Giraldo the lights are adorned with the coat of arms of Évora. It features Giraldo the fearless on horseback with his sword pointed up. The sword is covered in blood when on colored flags and banners.
The two heads at the bottom are moors, a gatekeeper and his daughter, Giraldo beheaded allowing the Christians to take over Évora.
Charlie Vettiner Golf Course is designated as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, an Audubon International program. To reach certification, a course must demonstrate a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas including environmental Planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and education and water quality management. louisvilleky.gov/content/charlie-vettiner-golf-course
The last time I'd visited this golf course there were dozens of waste containers filled to the brim with overflowing beer cans and bottles. Be wary of drunk drivers leaving this area - the life you save could be your own. The least they can do is recycle them.
Dead & dying trees could be seen throughout this course - it is also a favorite roosting area for vultures and condors.
The water surrounding this area is polluted and sewage-laden. Not a great testimony for Audubon, Louisville or Jefferson County, Kentucky. It would behoove the powers to be to ascertain the reasons for and address the numerous environmental challenges this, as well as other courses in the area face. It would also behoove the powers to be to protect local residents from the drunk golfers (and their families) entering and leaving this as well as other golf courses in the area as they, themselves do not have the capacity to do so.
This area is directly across the street from Kentucky One Medical Center Jewish Northeast / James Graham Brown Cancer Center (below). Immediately behind the tower is a playground and soccer field. This tower is less than 20 ft. from homes which cannot be seen due to strategically placed shrubbery. As you can see when enlarging this photo there are small children living here.
Per Section 332(c)(7) of the Communications Act - Allegations that a state or local government has acted inconsistently with Section 332(c)(7) are to be resolved exclusively by the courts (with the exception of cases involving regulation based on the health effects of RF emissions, which can be resolved by the courts or the FCC Commission).
A new tower construction requires:
Approval from the state or local governing authority for the proposed site;
Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA);
Compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA); and may require
Notification to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); and
Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) with the FCC.
Pancake and I had a blast playing in a dusting of snow this morning as she loves this cold weather. We had no problem navigating the many large snowplows out today in our Kentucky Blizzard. She did not see any squirrels or deer but as always, we saw the ducks. We did not see the Greylag goose out there but I'm sure he/she is around somewhere. We were grateul to be able to run around outside. We did see someone on the other side of the hill sledding with their toddler.
Now, yesterday, November 11, 2019 was a ldifferent story.
l. We were ordered to leave a BP Gas Market because "your service dog is not allowed in here". I offered to call the police but the lady behind the counter declined my invitation. We were low on gas. Reminder to self: Don't go back to that BP station (Shelbyville & Moser Road, Louisville, KY) without a copy of the laws in hand.
2. A Speedway employee so graciously asked "Do you know it's Veteran's Day?" Do you know our co-worker here is a Veteran?" I did not know he was and thanked him for everything. I did not reply to the "Do you know it's Veteran's Day" question. I was grateful so many individuals asked me that question yesterday. I also thanked them for the *privilege* of being *allowed* into their facility with my service dog to get crackers.
What I did not know was that there is caffeine-free Sprite that is diet (without the sugar). I erroneously bought regular Sprite which contains sugar and now I guess neeed to find someone to donate this sugared Sprite to. Sometimes we spend a little extra money in order to avoid Krogers, Meijer's or Walmart on most days. Hopefully I will be able to get off Coca-Cola and soda all together one day. We're doing the step-down method . So now we try tp avoid the sugar (and salt - "the new soda") and pretty much everything to be proactive with the hydrocephalus. Pancake does enjoy her jaunts in the park.
**************
Hydrocephalus::Hydrocephalus is the buildup of too much cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Normally, this fluid cushions your brain. When you have too much, though, it puts harmful pressure on your brain.
Hydrocephalus can be congenital, or present at birth. Causes include genetic problems and problems with how the fetus develops. An unusually large head is the main sign of congenital hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus can also happen after birth. This is called acquired hydrocephalus. It can occur at any age. Causes can include head injuries, strokes, infections, tumors, and bleeding in the brain. Symptoms include
Headache
Vomiting and nausea
Blurry vision
Balance problems
Bladder control problems
Thinking and memory problems
Hydrocephalus can permanently damage the brain, causing problems with physical and mental development. If untreated, it is usually fatal. With treatment, many people lead normal lives with few limitations. Treatment usually involves surgery to insert a shunt. A shunt is a flexible but sturdy plastic tube. The shunt moves the cerebrospinal fluid to another area of the body where it can be absorbed. Medicine and rehabilitation therapy can also help.
E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park - One of the most unique state parks in Kentucky is E.P. “Tom” Sawyer. The 550- acre park is located in Louisville in the northeastern part of Jefferson County off Westport Road. Named in honor of former Jefferson County Judge Executive Erbon Powers Sawyer (1915-1969), the Commonwealth of Kentucky originally purchased the land for the park in June 1969 from the Kentucky Department of Mental Health. The Kentucky Department of Parks leased the land and the buildings in 1970 and the park opened in 1974. A portion of the property had once been used for farmland for the mental health hospital.
