Pancake has respect for these. This pretty tractor was seen sunning itself enroute to/from Florida. Possibly just "away from".
Meet Sammy. Sammy was a rescue. His name was Marty when I'd originally adopted him (he had one crooked eye). I changed his name as I didn't catch the reason for the name Marty. He was named for Marty Feldman, the actor with one crooked eye. So it got changed to Sammy after USA's "Uncle Sam".
This photo was actually taken in 2010 (camera date incorrect).
Sammy was my first mobility service dog and he was phenomenal. He was part Jack Russell. We had encountered numerous difficulties with him at McDonalds, Thorntons, Krogers & in airports when TSA agents insisted on picking him up and ordered us to take off his jacket which caused quite a fuss at Standiford Airport (aka Louisville International, Louisville Regional, SDF, KSDF, KYANG and Muhammad Ali International Airport) here in Kentucky. (Louisville has an identity crisis). Sammy tended to snap when he felt endangered or frightened. He'd snapped at his previous owners' grandkids and they were forced to get rid of him. Sammy eventually went on to win "Canine Idol of the Year" at the Animal Care Society's "Bark in the Park"" event held every year here in Louisville.
This photo was autographed by Tony Davis (while we were having lunch at Firehouse Subs one day) who'd played one season for Kentucky's UK basketball team. He now plays for the New Orleans Pelicans and played for Team USA in the 2012 Olympics. It was fun meeting him and he was a wonderful person! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Davis

Nearly any public park (and property) in Louisville, Kentucky with a stream, tributary, brook or river has raw human sewage dumped into it after a "rain event". People, children and pets are fishing, boating, swimming, skiing, kids playing in the water, kayaking, dogs romping in it, domestic, farm and wild animals drink and wade through it - it defies imagination. Louisville and MSD did receive Federal "stimulus monies" to replace their antiquated CSO (combined sewer overlow) systems years ago but the work has not been completed.
Louisville is one of the few remaining municipalities in the Nation to have kept this system in place. Hopefully priorities will change soon. www.whitehouse.gov/recovery/

Broken down across from the Ford Plant in Louisville, KY. He was there for hours. Drove away very slowly. I felt bad for the guy.

McDonalds completely renovated this location a month ago. They must be fond of this old soda machine which has perpetual ice jams and leaks. It does work intermittently.

Pancake (my service dog) barfed in my driveway, but a portion of it was in the street. My homeowners association called the bomb squad. At least they did not attempt to tow the car this time.
JK. Actually one neighbor said another neighbor, who is a doctor, saw a package left on his porch that had "foreign writing on it", and they called the bomb squad - one said Hebrew, another said Arabic writing. For real. Dunno 'bout the rest of y'all but as a teen I had many penpals from all over the world, as well as friends and relatives, some of whom did not write english, and many from the Middle East. Yet this is life every day around here.
I'd heard from someone else, though, a few hours before this occurred, that this was a drill.
This particulr resident was fortunate the package arrived, albeit with writing they did not understand. Most packages delivered to this neighborhood are stolen from their porches as well as porch ornaments and landscaping items, especially during the "holidays" - this is their busiest time. As always, be hypervigilant and be sober. Your package might depend on it!
Rezoning for massive East End project endorsed

Sign in front says funded by Stock Yards Bank & Trust. Totally wiped out a natural area & migratory path.
A rezoning request to put around 1,800 apartments as well as some major office, retail, parking, and other development on a 107-acre site near Old Henry Road has drawn an initial favorable review from a city panel.
The Metro Planning Commission voted on Thursday to recommend that the Louisville Metro Council approve a requested change from single-family and Planned Employment Center zoning to new office and commercial zoning on the property, most of which is owned by the St. Joseph Catholic Orphanage Society.
A group, JDG 1849 LLC, headed by local investor Kevin Cogan, plans to develop the property over the long haul with extensive construction. However, at this point, the plans for developing 11 separate lots on the site are conceptual and generally are proposed to include: apartments, retailing, vehicle sales, restaurants, a theater, and a grocery.
Planning Commission spokesman Will Ford said that the developers, if they secure the needed rezoning, will later have to submit detailed plans for each of the 11 lots to the commission for subsequent approval, when they are ready to proceed.
The developers have agreed to numerous conditions intended to minimize any detrimental impact on surrounding property. They have agreed, for instance, to provide extensive buffering at the site, to extend Bush Farm Road and Terra Crossing Boulevard to serve the development, and to install sidewalks, drainage controls, and extensive tree plantings.

Ford said that no one spoke in opposition at the Thursday public hearing held by the Planning Commission at the Old Jail Building. But a letter in opposition was submitted by Peter Bodnar III, co-president of the Floyds Fork Environmental Association.
It contended that the development would accelerate "the environmental damage from sprawl that our community will be forced to deal with for years to come."
It added, "The developers maintain that this is simply infill development, land for which this is its highest use. Rather, it should be viewed as a corridor for vegetation and wildlife connectivity to the larger city. The developers should be required to present some pressing need, some over-riding benefit to be gained by the loss of this critical open space
"This is another instance of the larger community subsidizing commercial real estate development by extending infrastructure that we all pay for — all the while endangering our quality of life."
Bodnar said gridlock will result at the Gene Snyder Freeway interchanges in the area and that "a transportation nightmare is unfolding."
He concluded that "pushing for dense development like this in a relatively rural area, while large swaths of Louisville go wanting for any kind of investment is a disgrace for our city."

Cogan, who has a handful of other large projects in the pipeline, has a contract to acquire the parcel. A trust years ago left the Catholic organization about 230 acres in the 13500 block of Factory Lane. The society recently sold 122 acres — or roughly the northern half of the property — to Ball Homes, which is developing a 405-lot subdivision.
Cogan now intends to develop roughly the southern half of the property, but would surely phase the massive development over many years.
A recent detailed plan filed with the city for the site showed: 160,000 square feet of offices; a 112,000-square-foot health club; a vehicle sales outlet; a 203-unit senior living facility; nearly 30,000 square feet of commercial space; more than 1,800 apartments; and more than 4,000 parking spaces.
The site was where federal officials several years ago fleetingly considered constructing the Robley Rex V.A. Medical Center replacement hospital — a nearly $1 billion facility now slated to go near Brownsboro Road and the Watterson Expressway.
Cogan has several major commercial ventures in the pipeline. His plan for the Willow Grande condominium tower in Cherokee Triangle is bogged down in litigation with neighbors. And he plans highrise residential towers at Grinstead Drive and Lexington Road.

Effects of Cell Phone Radiofrequency Signal Exposure on Brain Glucose Metabolism

JAMA. 2011;305(8):808-813. doi:10.1001/jama.2011.186
CONCLUSIONS:
Conclusions In healthy participants and compared with no exposure, 50-minute cell phone exposure was associated with increased brain glucose metabolism in the region closest to the antenna. This finding is of unknown clinical significance.
The dramatic worldwide increase in use of cellular telephones has prompted concerns regarding potential harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency-modulated electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs). Of particular concern has been the potential carcinogenic effects from the RF-EMF emissions of cell phones. However, epidemiologic studies of the association between cell phone use and prevalence of brain tumors have been inconsistent (some, but not all, studies showed increased risk), and the issue remains unresolved.1
RF-EMFs emitted by cell phones are absorbed in the brain2 within a range that could influence neuronal activity.3 Although the intensity of RF-EMFs is very low, the oscillatory frequencies correspond to some of the oscillation frequencies recorded in neuronal tissue and could interfere with neuronal activity.4 Thermal effects from RF-EMFs have also been invoked as a mechanism that could affect neuronal activity, although temperature changes produced by current cell phone technology are likely minimal.5 Studies performed in humans to investigate the effects of RF-EMF exposures from cell phones have yielded variable results.6 For example, imaging studies that used positron emission tomography (PET) to measure changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) with RF-EMF exposures from cell phones have reported increases,7,8 decreases and increases,9,10 or no changes11 in CBF. The discrepancies among these imaging studies likely reflect their relatively small sample sizes (9-14 participants), and the potential confounding of CBF measures reflecting vascular rather than neuronal signals.12-14 This highlights the need for studies to document whether RF-EMFs from cell phone use affects brain function in humans.
The objective of this study was to assess if acute cell phone exposure affected regional activity in the human brain. For this purpose we evaluated the effects in healthy participants (N = 47) of acute cell phone exposures on brain glucose metabolism, measured using PET with injection of (18F)fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG). Brain glucose metabolic activity is a more proximal marker of neuronal activity than measures of CBF, which reflects vascular as well as neuronal components.15 Also, because brain glucose metabolic measures obtained with 18FDG reflect the averaged brain activity occurring over a 30-minute period,16 this method allowed assessment of the cumulative effects of cell phone exposure on resting brain metabolism. Because exposure to RF-EMFs from cell phones is well localized and is highest in brain regions closest to the antenna,2 we hypothesized that the effects on brain metabolism would be greatest in inferior and anterior brain regions, the regions that would be exposed to the highest RF-EMF amplitude for the cell phone model used in this study.

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 is Jim. Jim served in the Vietnam War as a US Army tank mechanic. He enlisted when he was 18. He did 17 parachute jumps while in Vietnam.
Jim was just released from the hospital here in Kentucky a few weeks ago - he had a tumor the size of a golf ball removed from his brain. This is a frequent occurrence in Kentucky. Jim was in the hospital for a month then in rehab for a few weeks. Jim said he started noticing problems with his balance and that is when they found the tumor. Jim still has yet to go through chemo. He has an 8" scar across the top of his head. Jim is 71 years old - one would never know he just had major brain surgery. Jim's firstborn child was born with spina bifida - a direct result of his exposure to Agent Orange.

Jim's dog, Buddy, passed away yesterday, so it seemed therapeutic and fitting for all of us to be together here this morning. Jim knows his fishing. We hope to see Jim again when the fish are biting as it had just rained this morning.
*******
Today, August 2, 2019 I caught up with Jim buying groceries (donuts, milk, etc....) for his grandkids. He looks great, now has a full head of hair, and strong as ever. He's given most of his fishing equipment away to the boy scouts, etc....but still has a some left. We hope to go fishing soon.
I wish I could have let Jim talk to the owner of the Haven Beach Motel on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, USA, who just informed us that regardless of what United States Federal Law is, they will not permit a service dog on their premises or on the beach.
*******
11/22/2019: Saw Jim this morning at McDonalds - he is currently struggling with a recent flashback which has lasted a few weeks as well as balance challenges. But he is still strong, standing, driving and can still almost smile. He was taking breakfast home to "the boys". Says he hasn't been doing any fishing lately. He's a bit wobbly but still going strong.
******
12/1/2020: What a great way to start off the month! We saw Jim this afternoon while at a local grocery store and he is still kickin' it, says it's catfish season and he's using cut up bluegill as bait! He still has that grand smile that will light up any day! It was so good to see him!
*****
1/27/2022: I have not seen Jim around but an employee of Kroger's says he still goes in occasionally and has a freezer full of bluegill he's willing to share. We have many bluegill here. Hope to catch up with him soon.
******
August 10, 2022: We saw Jim at a local grocery store and he looked fantastic. He said he just got back from the Bahamas as well as a visit to Bernheim Forest with his grandkids and Wife. Says he hasn't fished in two years but says he will be going out to the lake to see all of the changes. Said he had yet another tumor removed from his brain but is sharp, coherent and still driving!
