Historic
was built by wealthy Oakland residents, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Hassler for an investment; it was begun in September of 1923 and finished in March of 1924 at a cost of $80,000.
Between 1924 and 1932 it was run by William Sweet, who had been a professor of Agriculture at UC-Berkeley. He gave up his professorship to open the first Sweet's Ballroom in Oakland; there would be a total of four Sweet's Ballroom sites.
This particular site was the second of the four sites that Sweet would have during his 46 year long tenure with ballroom dancing in Oakland.
This venue was in use as a ballroom for 55 years
Work has been a bear for me lately. It's budget time and I have been working late. The summer is over and the sunlight is gone by 6:30 p.m. ( while I'm still at work ).
I took a week off for my birthday and I found myself busier than ever with family stuff.
I took my boys to the Route 66 Car Show this past Saturday and I ran into this fellow at Cigars and Stripes.
Met Count Midnight. He was just hanging around ( in the sunlight no less!) and enjoying the music and cars.
Count Midnight has his own Horror TV Show on Cable Access in Joliet. I've never seen or heard of him but now I am dying ( no pun intended) to watch his show!
n Bandra where we stay, there’s a small area with many old houses with tiled roofs. This is Runwar Village. Some of these houses are more than a century old. That is why this area has been declared a ‘heritage precinct’.
One thing that strikes anyone who comes here is the large number of crosses. We counted – on just two very small lanes, there were 23 crosses.
We were curious. We set out to find out the reason behind the crosses. Some people said it was because the area was full of Catholics. Some said to help people pray on their way to work or back. Then we met Mr John Gomes, a resident of Chapel Road. There are six crosses all a stone’s throw away from his house. He told us almost a century back, Bandra had been struck by a plague. Many people died. This place was overtaken by rats who spread the disease by biting people. “People were dying like flies, Mr Gomes told us. “We would bury someone, some back and see another person had died. The dead were sometimes carried away in cartloads. Many people packed their belongings and fled to the mountain.” Which mountain, we asked. Mt Mary, he replied. (Mt Mary is a church in Bandra situated on a little hill facing the sea). That is why people built the crosses, Mr Gomes said, to protect themselves from the plague. As a plea to Jesus to save them. Had anyone died in his family? No, he replied.

We made a couple of stops between Banteay Srei and our final temple. These stops were at a 'landmine museum', which was informative and inspiring, and here at a place that made sugar from palm trees. The task of clearing mines, which continue to kill and main people every year, usually because they are trying to make money from the scrap metal, remains huge. There are vast amounts of unexploded ordinance spread over both Laos and Cambodia, mostly consisting of anti-personnel mines and cluster bomblets, but with some bigger bombs as well. The people that dedicate their lives to clearing all this stuff have my highest admiration.

Great as a costume but also practical for fall and winter to keep wind off of your pup's face.
We finally had the appointment we wanted, with a surgeon qualified to work with Janice's artificial elbow. The x-rays do not reveal the cause of the pain she's been experiencing since early November, he said. The titanium mechanism seems to be intact.
So, he's ordered some other diagnostics, including blood work and a bone scan. The adventure continues!
At least we know we're now in the right hands. It's an interesting medical system we have, isn't it?
Democrat supporters crowd McPherson Square, near the White House, the day after the Nov. 3 Presidential Election, where they watched former vice president Joe Biden lay claim, unofficially, to the Oval Office. Following a laborious counting of absentee and mail-in ballots from several key states, Biden has been officially declared the winner, although President Donald Trump has refused to concede.

One of the activities at the children's garden was to dig through a box of dirt and count the creepy-crawlies.
Baby ladybirds with dots to count are inside the mummy here. I did evens for this book & odds for the other so they can also play together with all the ladybirds.
