Pancake has fun here.

Spotted next to a kidney dialysis center, Louisville, KY 40241 USA.

Very few commercial property owners maintain their drainage outlets or they were not correctly installed and/or designed, hence overflowing and flooding abounds here, or stagnant standing water leading to mosquito and other insect infestations.

The plastic credit card is for perspective. I've been told by many locals they are flushing them down toilet.

This tragic train vs. auto accident occurred a few weeks ago and a young life was taken - he was only 19 years old. He apparently attempted to make a right hand turn crossing the tracks. From looking at the scene it appears the train pushed the car with such a force it went airborne and landed over a hundred feet into a deep ditch. My sincerest condolences to all involved. But there are *no* gates. The following photos depict the scene and are quite disturbing considering this loss of a promising young life could have and should have been prevented and was not.

There have been similar accidents at this same crossing in the past.

This is what is confusing to me:

East Blue Lick Road Add gates to existing flashing lights and bell system at CSX Railroad Crossing on East Blue Lick Road. (343 526X) Add to TIP as part of KIPDA #174 Various general rail/highway protection improvement program projects. Add FY2014 Construction $240,000 federal; RHPD funding

So WHERE ARE THE GATES? Better yet where is our $240,000 and the BIDS for a $50,000 job.

UPDATE: I was informed today June 7, 2018, gates have been installed at this crossing now - unsure how long ago they were installed, but they're up and hopefully functioning correctly. Thank you.

Our Local Fire Department Yesterday.

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin and the President of the United States directed flags to be flown at half mast. Is this an oversight or statement? Yet the board of advisors for the Middletown Fire Department have stated cell phone cameras are a threat to the department according to the chart in their new strategic plan report.

Note: The new strategic plan report has since been taken down from their website.

Pancake is a trained Medical Service Dog - she helps with balance and disequilibrium as I am unable to detect changes in grades on the ground nor at times walk in a straight line, so I am able to hike with her now more confidently in places I would have been unable to before. Also keeps me from knocking shelves over in stores etc...due an intermittent neurological disorder. She also alerts me when the oven timer sounds, alarm clock sounds, etc...She is an amazing animal. At Long Run Park, Louisville, kY

This was my son's pony, Golden Nugget. We'd brought Goldie home in the back of a pickup truck with a camper cover - he was a wonderful pony. We spent many days out with the horses and Joey was an accomplished rider.

A flim club from a local high school had put together this video and it is an amazing work by this group. Joey's Horse Movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wpDsT73Iiw

"A couple of high school kids came by one day and saw us working with the horses - they asked if they could film a video of Joey and the horses for the Chuck Costello Film Festival at Lawrence High. Joey'd been an avid rider since he was two, and quite the accomplished horseman. He generally rode with no saddle or bridle, and helped break and train the young'uns. The horses were Snooker D - the Appaloosa, Vinnie - the 8 month old Quarter Horse colt, and Mr. Bill - the Anglo Arab. No one was hurt in the making of this film. I apologize for the graininess of it, but this was filmed in the late 70's or so, in BETA, and the transfer to digital lost it's clarity. A very, very special thanks to Frank Adams, The Lawrence Film Nuts and the late crazy brilliant Mr. Maloney from Lawrence High for all their time and patience in making this film and The Video Kitchen in Louisville, KY for the wonderful transfer . And of course, to Joey. : )

All three horses courtesy of Camelot Stables in Cranbury, NJ (aka Camelot Auction House), purchased from Mr. Frank Carper in the late 70's. Snooker D, the app, lived to be over 20 years old and rode like the wind even after he went blind. The Anglo-Arab taught many kids in the neighborhood how to ride, including Joey, and the little QH colt, Vinny, went on to sire many, many beautiful champion foals. We purchased over a dozen horses from Frank at Camelot over the years, and all of them were stunning animals - as always. Thank you, Mr. Carper, for years of honesty, trust and joy for our family - it is much appreciated.

Below is a letter from Frank and Monica Carper of Camelot Auction:

Dear Ladies and Gents,

If someone had told me five years ago that horse rescues and tons of regular folks would step up and help find (and be) homes for horses that weren’t getting sold, or were being sold for slaughter, doubtful would have been my thought. Words after the first six months or so? Shocked, speechless and amazed are a good summation of what we thought would surely be a short-lived endeavor, boy were we wrong.

It started innocently enough with some networking and a few pictures from Lisa Post. Then a board on Alex Brown Racing (Friends of Barbaro) that also sent out to other groups about the horses that were landing in the #10 pen. If I remember correctly, November of 2009 was the first time that the pen was cleared. A landmark for sure and a testament to the ladies who checked horses, took notes and pictures in crowded pens so horses got a chance.

Sarah Andrew, equine photographer, called and asked if she could come and take pictures. The next few years are history, with beautiful ‘glamor pics’ and a few totally awesome calendars that helped to support the mission of One Horse At A Time with their gelding fund. Because of Sarah’s generosity with her time and talent, countless horses found a new life. When Sarah injured her back (she’s ok now), Ida and Mark Howell graciously stepped in to continue in Sarah’s footsteps.

Also along the way several new rescues were started, and some established ones got new energy and focus. To have watched these rescues grow and find their ‘spot’ is simply amazing. The lives they saved, and the public education that was generated is enormous. To have been a part of that… fabulous, and humbling for sure. To say that there was a huge learning curve when it came to working with the rescues would be an understatement, but it was worth it. A complete shift of thought process.

To remember the beginning of the Camelot Horse Weekly page on Facebook, wow, just wow. The major excitement when there was 5,000 likes!! Now there are how many, over 83,000 as of this writing!! To know that because of that page and the ladies who started it – what were unwanted horses (and a few kittens and bunnies) have gone on to caring homes in almost every state including Hawaii!! Canada, England and Bermuda too!!

To have our “little ginger dog” Rosa become the poster child for the ‘all clear’, and to have had Penny Austin write stories about her and her exploits, warms every corner of our hearts.

Frank and I started Camelot Auction on August 1, 1994, and here we are twenty years later saying goodbye with our last sale on December 17, 2014. It would take a novel to write about all the incredible people and horses that we’ve met over the years, and I’m not sure if that would even cover it. The changes in the industry and the world itself, from the first home computer and the infancy of the internet, who thought then that computers would become such an integral part of our lives?

After all this rambling on, it’s still hard to say what I came to say, which is farewell. I’m all choked up and stalling about the inevitable. I know that we can’t personally shake each hand, and kiss each cheek, and hug every person we’ve had the great pleasure to encounter, but know that we’d like to for sure! One of the big smiles of every day is looking at the Camelot New Beginnings page on Facebook and seeing the horses happy and cared for. That makes the craziness, tears, joy and angst all worthwhile.

Thank you especially to all the CHW Ladies for more than words can say.

Thank you to all the rescues, words are inadequate once again.

Thank you all for caring, and opening your hearts for these horses, most times from only a picture.

Thanks for creating a new path where there was none, and leaving markers for others to follow.

Thanks for the love, and the hate, a powerful combination for forging change.

Thanks for showing an old horse trader that yup, these horses are wanted.

Thanks for being the greatness that the world, and these animals needed.

Thanks for your kindness, your determination, and for your decency.

Thanks for the memories, we’ll never forget them, or you.

~Monica, Frank and everyone at Camelot

As always, when there is blasting in your area, take photographs of your home (or business) prior to the blasting. The below article is from the West Virginia Fire Marshall's Office - and very good advice: Of course, every state is different.

WHAT TO DO IS YOUR HOME IS DAMAGED FROM BLASTING

DEBRIS

The State Fire Marshal's Office has compiled the following information to assist homeowners with property damage from a blasting fly-rock incident.

If a blast causes debris to fly through the air, contact the State Fire Marshal's Office at 304-558-2191 Ext. 219. Every effort is made to dispatch a field compliance officer within 24 hours of a fly-rock incident.

If your property is damaged, contact your insurance company or agent to explore the options of reporting a claim. In addition, contact the State Fire Marshal's Office.

The blasting contractor may not automatically pay for the damage to your property. Contractor's must be bonded, however, the State Fire Marshal's Office does not have the authority to force the contractor to pay a homeowner for damages resulting from blasting damage.

Contact the blasting contractor. It is possible the contractor has made arrangements to compensate for property damage.

It is possible that your insurance company or a private attorney may be able to help recuperate financial loss from a blasting contractor if the contractor does not respond to your request.

In the event you decide to file a claim with your insurance company, do not make permanent repairs to your home. Wait for the insurance company's adjuster.

It is a good idea to make a visual record of damage. Take pictures or video if possible before repairs begin.

Temporary repairs may be necessary to secure your damaged property from further damage or theft. Save all receipts from necessary temporary repair work.

If you avoid making needed temporary repairs to protect your damaged property, your homeowner's policy may not cover subsequent damage.

Review your homeowner's policy! Pay special attention to the section "What You Must Do After a Loss".

The claim and repair process may take more than a few days.

If you feel your insurance company has refused to let you file a claim or

has improperly denied your claim, please contact the West Virginia Insurance Commissioner's Office at 1-888-879-9842, or www.wvinsurance.gov.

The above fill operation must be legal because it's being done. Up the street. Wood, building materials, debris, plastic garbage bags, etc.... for over a year. MC311 Ref. # 5007359

"How To Make A Mountain Out Of A Molehole" - By Jennifer Kunst, PhD (Psychology Today) -

How does a molehill become a mountain? Physically speaking, a molehill becomes a mountain when an animal takes dirt from somewhere and piles it on somewhere else. Psychologically speaking, if we think metaphorically, making a mountain out of a molehill essentially is a massive displacement of psychological dirt from one place to another. We unconsciously dig up dirty issues from one significant area of our lives and pile them on to something far more innocuous. I think this happens because it seems easier to pile a little bit of dirt somewhere else than deal with the psychological mountain itself, intimidating as that often is.

************

Note: The above massive displacement of dirt looks real to me. Last I'd looked dumping debris and trash into clear waterways (according to the Clear Water Act) was not permitted: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Water_Act

WHY BE RACIST, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC, OR TRANSPHOBIC WHEN YOU CAN JUST BE QUIET?

Pancake and I did an overnight photo-op downtown this night.

We were hoping to stay until 04:20 however an hour prior a van pulled up and winged a large solid object across the above courtyard which hit the front door - solid dead hit - Pancake thought it was a game and went to go get it. I stopped her and we immediately left the area. The person who pitched it had a very good arm. There was a very foul odor emanating from the grate in the sidewalk which was similar to natural gas but I'm told it was probably just raw sewage stench. It is difficult to fathom how a supposedly major health care company (Humana) can allow their employees to work here under those conditions. It was unfit for human habitation as it stands.

Update: June 29, 2021: I was informed today from a former employee that the Humana buildings were infested with Stink Bugs. That would explain the odor. The former employee said the stink bugs were the brown ones - like these: www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/stink-bugs-whe...

"Keep socks on", the sign says. I would not permit Pancake in the play area. This poor little lady you see here was not happy, either, considering there were nearly 50 little kids sliding around the place. Their soda/ice machine was leaking - the little lady and I hightailed it out of there as chances were either she or Pancake would be blamed for their refrigeration equipment malfunction. Perhaps this is why we see so many employees and their kids going in through the rear doors and taking food home with them at night so it does not spoil. This was probably one of Louisville's Ex-Mayor Fischer's ice machines.

************************

Louisville KY's Mayor Greg Fischer -Business career -

Business career

SerVend

At 25, Fischer co-invented the SerVend[2] automated ice/beverage dispenser, which is used to this day in convenience stores and restaurants.[8] To help sell the product, Fischer co-founded and ran the company "SerVend International." Over the course of Fischer's involvement with the Louisville-based company, it transformed into a global manufacturing business employing over 300 people. In October 1998, SerVend was one of three U.S. small business companies to be honored with a site visit by the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award examiners. In November 1998, Flomatic International, SerVend's valve manufacturing division, received the Oregon Quality Award. The Rochester Institute of Technology and USA Today recognized SerVend's achievements by awarding it the Quality Cup Award in the small business category in 1999.[9] The Manitowoc Company purchased SerVend in late 1997.

In 1990, Fischer, along with his father and brother, Mark, was named a winner of an award sponsored by Inc. magazine, Ernst & Young, Merrill Lynch and Business First. As Kentucky and Southern Indiana's Regional Entrepreneurs of the Year in the manufacturing division for their work with SerVend, they were among the finalists for Inc. magazine's U.S. Entrepreneur of the Year award.[10]

bCatalyst

In 2000, Fischer co-founded bCatalyst, a business accelerator that evolved into a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm.[11] In early 2010, bCatalyst was acquired by Louisville-based Hilliard Lyons.[12]

Investing career

Fischer was an investor and board member with MedVenture Technology.[13] MedVenture, located in Jeffersonville, Indiana, is an engineering outsourcer and early stage manufacturer on non-invasive medical devices for companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic. He is an investor and past board member of Vogt Ice, a manufacturer of commercial and industrial ice machines. He also is an investor and serves on the board of Stonestreet One, a Louisville-based software company specializing in Bluetooth technology.

Fischer was part owner until 2011 of Dant Clayton Corporation, a sports stadium design, manufacturing, and construction company with prominent sports-related projects around the United States.[citation needed]

Currently, in addition to his other ventures, Fischer serves as founder and chairman of Iceberg Ventures, a private investment firm in Louisville.[13]

Maintenance of EPSC Measures During Construction

The Permittee, Co-permittee or his or her designee, is required to conduct inspections of all EPSC measures and perform any modifications, maintenance or repairs as necessary, every 7 calendar days and within 24 hours of each storm event that produces 0.5 inches or more of precipitation. Records of these inspections must be kept on site at all times for review by the appropriate compliance enforcement agency. Records shall be kept on the Stormwater Construction Site Inspection Report with approved construction drawings, Site Disturbance Permit and Notice of Construction.. MSD has a network of Rain Gauges that can be queried to determine the amount of rain recorded for a particular section of the county.

Compliance Enforcement Inspections

Inspection of land disturbing activities for compliance with the ordinance shall be the primary responsibility of MSD. In the course of their daily activities, other city and county inspectors may refer potential violations to MSD for follow-up and enforcement action.

Enforcement Procedures

It is the intent of this Ordinance that negotiated compliance be pursued and secured whenever practicable and effective prior to alternative enforcement measures being invoked. A Notice of Violation (NOV) and Stop Work Order shall be issued under the following conditions:

The negotiated compliance process fails to produce the necessary corrective action;

A land disturbing activity has proceeded without an approved plan, issuance of a Site Disturbance Permit and proper Notice of Construction; or,

A violation is causing, or has the imminent ability to cause, adverse impacts or offsite degradation.

Civil fines can range up to $4000 per day per violation. Appeals of NOVs and civil fines must be made to MSD in writing within 7 days of receipt.

louisvilleky.gov/sites/default/files/planning_design/land...

Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Notes

The approved erosion prevention and sediment control (EPSC) plan shall be implemented prior to any land-disturbing activity on the construction site. Any modifications to the approved EPSC plan must be reviewed and approved by MSD's Private Development Review office. EPSC BMP's shall be installed per the plan and MSD Standards.

Detention basins, if applicable, shall be constructed first and shall perform as sediment basins during construction until the contributing drainage areas are seeded and stabilized.

Actions must be taken to minimize the tracking of mud and soil from construction areas onto public roadways. Soil tracked onto the roadway shall be removed daily.

Soil stockpiles shall be located away from streams, ponds, swales and catch basins. Stockpiles shall be seeded, mulched, and adequately contained through the use of silt fence.

All stream crossings must utilize low-water crossing structures per MSD Standard Drawing ER-02.

Sediment-laden groundwater encountered during trenching, boring, or other excavation activities shall be pumped to a sediment trapping device prior to being discharged into a stream, pond, swale, or catch basin.

Where construction or land disturbing activity will or has temporarily ceased on any portion of a site, temporary site stabilization measures shall be required as soon as practicable, but no later than 14 calendar days after the activity as ceased.

Site Disturbance Permit

Site Disturbance Permits are required for land disturbing activities subject to Type I and Type II reviews. The Type I review process applies to land disturbing activities subject to land use approval by the Louisville and Jefferson County Planning Commission, TRC, LD&T, Board of Zoning Adjustment or legislative body. Examples of land disturbing activities requiring Type I review are standard and innovative subdivisions, conditional use permits, general and detailed district developments and rezoning plans. Type II reviews are applicable to all land disturbing activities that do not require land use approval under the Development Code and include developments, demolition plans, site clearing, earth excavations or fills not performed with a specific project, and developments only needing a building permit to proceed to construction.

The Site Disturbance Permit process is described below:

The Application. An application must be completed and submitted with the plans for review and approval. The Permittee must sign the application declaring himself/herself as the person responsible for the land disturbing activity.

EPSC Plans. Type I projects on lands containing sensitive features require the submittal and approval of a EPSC Concept Plan along with, or as part of, the preliminary plan. Both Type I and Type II projects require the submittal and approval a EPSC Detailed Construction plan along with, or as part of, the normal construction drawings.

EPSC Detailed Construction Plan Checklist. A completed EPSC Detailed Construction Plan Checklist must be submitted for review and approval with the EPSC Detailed Construction plan.

Pre-construction site meetings. If required as a condition of EPSC Concept Plan approval or deemed necessary during the EPSC Detailed Construction plan approval process, a pre-construction site meeting shall be conducted prior to MSD final action on the EPSC Detailed Construction plan. MSD may also require a pre-construction site meeting as a condition of EPSC Detailed Construction plan approval and postpone such visit until Notice of Construction is received. The purpose of a pre-construction site meeting is to correct any inadequacies in the EPSC plan that are identified during the visit and to ensure that the Permittee, particularly the onsite contractor representative, understands the EPSC plan, and the self-inspection, maintenance and record keeping requirements.

Site Disturbance Bond. MSD may require a Site Disturbance performance bond, in addition to a lateral extension bond or a subdivision bond, in an amount sufficient to cover site stabilization costs should the site fall into default.

Notice of Construction. A Notice of Construction form must be filed with MSD upon approval of the EPSC Detailed Construction plan. The Notice must be received by MSD no less than 3 working days prior to construction activity initiation such that an inspector can be assigned and any applicable pre-construction meetings may be scheduled.

Issuance of a Site Disturbance Permit. Upon adequate completion of the above activities, as applicable, MSD will issue a Site Disturbance Permit. No land disturbing activities, including clearing, grubbing, or blasting, may occur on the site prior to this time. Doing so will result in an immediate issuance of a Notice of Violation with a civil fine and a Stop Work Order.

The process for the release of a Site Disturbance Permit is described below:

Final Stabilization. Final stabilization at the site must be achieved as follows:

all land disturbing activities at the site have been completed;

there are no areas of active erosion evident; and,

a permanent perennial vegetative cover with a density of 70% of the cover for the area has been established or the area has been seeded and interim measures (i.e., mulches or geotextiles) sufficient to prevent erosion from disturbed areas have been employed.

Letter of Completion. A Letter of Completion must be given to the appropriate MSD inspector upon completion of site construction and final stabilization. On this letter, the Permittee shall certify that construction, including final stabilization, is complete and in accordance with all approved EPSC plans.

Release of the Site Disturbance Permit. Once the results of the final MSD inspection signify compliance with the approved EPSC plans, including final stabilization, the site disturbance permit shall be terminated.

Release of the Site Disturbance Bond. One year after release of the site disturbance permit, the final inspection for the release of the Site Disturbance Bond may be conducted.

While driving down Aiken Road, Louisville, KY 40245 we passed this construction site - this sign was posted at the end. Across from Target. Just in Case. They don't use Cats. : )

A case of dynamite was stolen from this site.

There's still one case missing: www.cbsnews.com/news/official-explosives-stolen-from-trai...

The current fate of these two blue claw crabs is undecided. For the time being they are currently Pancake's "therapy crabs". Once they warmed up a bit they became quite active. One jumped off the table. They were said to have come from Florida:

***********

Blue Crabs in the Gulf

Aside from their ecological importance, blue crabs are one of the most economically important fisheries of the Gulf. Louisiana alone lands approximately 26 percent of the total blue crabs for the nation, a value of more than $135 million at today’s market prices. A decline in blue crabs could have larger economic implications for recreational fishing and tourism on the Gulf Coast.

Using the money from BP’s oil spill fines to stop coastal wetlands loss and protect habitats for blue crabs will have a positive impact on the entire food web of the Gulf of Mexico—and the Gulf Coast economy as well.

Predator Meets Prey

Increased carbon pollution is expected to cause blue crabs to grow abnormally large shells, turning this species into larger, more aggressive predators that could significantly alter the fragile Chesapeake ecosystem. Their main prey, like oysters, are expected to suffer from weaker, slower-growing shells due to acidic water conditions caused by the ocean absorbing more carbon dioxide. The larger, hungrier blue crabs will have the ability to eat many more oysters, potentially throwing the whole food chain out of whack. This shift in the predator-prey balance would harm efforts to rebuild the stocks of both species.

Impacts to Economy

Although climate change is expected to lead to abnormally large blue crab shells, this does not mean the crab harvest will do well or that crab lovers will benefit. This is because studies have shown that the same conditions that lead to increased growth in crab shells also resulted in the production of less meat under those shells. As carbon-absorbing crabs put more energy into building larger shells, less energy goes into other critical life processes like tissue growth and reproduction.

And right behind it and down the street from this place is illegal dumping. Terra Crossing Boulevard. Yet no one sees this daily dumping activity that's been going on for years right in front of them? The odor emanating from this surgery center and it's dumpsters in the back are nauseating - smells much like kidney dialysis or rotting meat. The structure itself is nicely built. The shrubbery surrounding the building show symptoms of rotting and disease.

Please keep in mind this Surgery Center in Louisville Kentucky is across the street from a limestone/sandstone quarry. The air quality and particulate levels here are atrocious. Yet neither the quarry nor the government does much to alleviate or address this. We understand the quarry was here first, however this does not negate this grandfathered quarry from complying to rules and regulations set in place to protect the surrounding environment, flora and fauna.

This is not a good place for a surgery center and I am unsure what Premier was thinking when they chose this location other than drumming up business: At the very least they could water down the roadways during this quarry's high traffic times and ENSURE each truck leaving this quarry is securely tarped, not overfilled and in full working order. I cannot understand how the local residents and the town have permitted these activities to go unchecked for so long. This quarry is currently for sale.

"It is widely known that particulate matter pollutes the air and it is also associated with a variety of adverse health effects in humans (1–2). These particulates can originate from stationary, mobile, or natural sources and its effects on human health vary depending on its size (3–4). Particulate matter <2.5μm in diameter (fine particulates; PM2.5) and 10μm (coarse particulate; PM10) are strongly associated with respiratory diseases and other adverse health effects in humans, including hypertension and cardiovascular conditions, allergies and inflammatory reactions, and birth defects and deficiencies in child development (1, 5–6). In addition, the elderly and people with emphysema, asthma, and chronic heart and lung diseases are especially sensitive to fine-particle pollution (7–9). Numerous studies have linked elevated particle levels in the air to increased hospital admissions, emergency room visits, and premature deaths (7, 10). Because children’s lungs and respiratory systems are still developing, they are also more susceptible than healthy adults to fine particles (11–13). ...." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3885176/
