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

There are conflicting stories about the development, purpose and breeding of the shih-tzu (often called the Lion Dog) and their history is indeed fascinating. www.theshihtzuclub.co.uk/shih-tzu/breed-history

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.

Cheltenham Wetlands Park was once part of the U.S. Naval Radio Station, Cheltenham, Maryland. It was commissioned in 1939.

“The original antenna fields, comprising creosoted wood telephone poles and metal antenna towers, were located in the acreage surrounding the buildings. All metal antenna poles have been removed from the installation. Some abandoned creosoted wood poles remain in the wooded and swampy sections of the installation.

Established as a radio receiving station before World War II, the installation's mission evolved to administration during the Cold War era.”

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.

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

Architecture Along JFKennedy Blvd and 17th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania #LetsGuide

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

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.

Episode 186. Nina Moseley – Chief Operating Officer, Wayside Christian Mission

When Nina Moseley talks about her work helping those in poverty, her eyes light up with hope and her enthusiasm fills the room.

Since 1988, Moseley has been the chief operating officer of Wayside Christian Mission. The organization helps Louisville’s homeless population “not with a hand-out, but with a hand up.” The organization has grown from an overnight shelter for the homeless, to a center for hope with education and skills training as well. Along the way, they’ve taken on the city, enlisted HUD and the Louisville community at large.

Moseley traded in a career in finance and collections at local department stores to take the leap into the unknown at Wayside. She met her husband there, and has contributed to many lives turning around.

Moseley earned her J.D. from U of L’s Brandeis School of Law in 1999, and is a member of the Board of the Coalition for the Homeless, a board member and past president of Metrobon Kiwanis Club, and a past board member of the Flaget Alumni Association. She has been a licensed member of the Kentucky Bar, Indiana Bar, and Arkansas Bar. Moseley was also the recipient of the Leadership Award from Mercy Academy, as well as the Spirit of Flaget Award. In 2011, she and her husband were honored with the Blanche B. Ottenheimer Award for going above and beyond to improve life in the Louisville community.

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.

Museo de Escultura al Aire libre de la Castellana, Madrid

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]
