Louisville, KY bus #2917 - I attempted to board this bus with my service dog - the driver objects, then stated I had to put my dog "under the seat" and not obstruct passengers walking by. The driver also became angry as it took me a few moments to get my "change" as there was a schedule to follow. When my dog boarded she boarded in front of me and laid down. The driver said, "Get your dog under control". I said, "M'aam, my dog is doing her job". I have challenges detecting grade changes & intermittent balance problems coupled with TBI and PTSD to name a few. The hostility of many Louisville, KY, USA TARC drivers has been a problem. We did not encounter this in other States in the US. It appears being a #whitedog that looks important has its perks.
It is so hard to get local communities here involved in recycling. Yet they wonder why there is no local seafood available here and wonder why there are fish and swim advisories posted Statewide in Kentucky. It's just gonna take time. Hopefully in my lifetime.
Spotted in a "storage area" - Forest Springs Shopping Center, Louisville, KY 40245. These were the same ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators & microwaves installed throughout this area & many more. They are indeed defective and the manufacturer was aware of the defects prior to selling them. Resellers claimed no knowledge of the defects. These appliances were the original appliances installed where I purchased my home in the Pinnacle Gardens community here in Jefferson County, Louisville, KY, USA. Residents here were never notified about these defective appliances.
Law360, New York (February 20, 2015, 3:12 PM EST) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Friday said that General Electric Co. has agreed to pay a $3.5 million penalty for failing to report defects and serious injury risks related to a number of ranges and dishwasher models.
The CPSC said that the settlement ends claims that GE knowingly failed to report defects and an unreasonable risk of serious injury in two models of Profile freestanding dual-fuel ranges and several models of Profile and Monogram dishwashers. According to the CPSC, GE delayed reporting fire hazards and unreasonable serious injury risks in the appliances to the commission. We were never notified of the defective appliances.
Under the Consumer Product Safety Act, manufacturers must report to the CPSC within 24 hours if they learn that a product has a defect that could cause a substantial hazard or creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, according to the commission.
GE learned that wiring could overheat in the back of the range six years before it began recalling the models, according to the commission.
“GE first received notice of a possible range failure in 2003, when a consumer reported to GE that she had called the fire department because the range had caught fire while it was pre-heating,” according to the settlement. “A GE technician noted that the wiring had shorted out.”
The company began recalling them in April 2009 but didn’t report the hazards to the CPSC until February 2009, according to the agency. By then, GE had received 13 reports of wiring overheating in the ranges, including five fires, the CPSC said.
GE sold the ranges between June 2002 and December 2005 for $1,300 to $2,000, according to the CPSC.
In some models of Profile and Monogram dishwashers, condensation could build up on the control board and make them short-circuit, posing fire and burn hazards, the CPSC said.
A spokeswoman for GE said the manufacturer denied the allegations but agreed to the settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation.
“In each case, GE had proactively informed the agency of GE’s decision to conduct a voluntary recall based on its own investigation, and had also notified consumers who owned the affected products of remedies to help eliminate the potential risks,” GE said in a statement. “GE cooperated fully with CPSC as the agency reviewed these matters.”
GE sold the dishwashers in U.S. stores from July 2003 to October 2010, according to the CPSC.
The company reported the fire hazard to the CPSC in September 2010; in October 2010, GE and the commission announced a voluntary recall of about 174,000 dishwashers due to the potential fire hazard.
GE reported five instances of fires, four of which caused minor damage to the kitchen countertops where the dishwashers were installed, according to the CPSC. One of the fires was reported in 2007, according to the commission. No injuries were reported from the fires, according to the commission.
GE also agreed to maintain a compliance program to ensure adherence to Consumer Product Safety Act standards, according to the CPSC.
The program includes procedures for recording and reporting safety issues, confidential employee reporting of compliance concerns, compliance training, and senior management responsibility for compliance.

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.”

Máscaras de Diablos de Juxtlahuaca, Oaxaca.
Desde la región Mixteca los habitantes de Santiago Juxtlahuaca y su Danza de los Rubios, visten tradicionales atavíos y portando máscaras que los han identificado desde el Siglo XVIII, hasta constituirse en su tradición y legado. La Chivarra, chicote y espuelas del atuendo masculino del
traje del Diablo, la María Lencha, el Alvarado, el Margarito, el Caporal, bailan al compás de la
danza entre colores y música, reflejo de la riqueza cultura de la Mixteca.
La madera de Sabino, agua cola, blanco de España, pintura al óleo, esmaltes, barníz, ojos de vidrio,
Dientes Naturales de Animales, pestañas y cuernos Naturales de Toro, Chivo o Venado, son alguno de los elementos que dan origen a la creatividad y Formas Fantásticas de sus Máscaras. Los Artesanos de máscaras labran una tradición que hombres y mujeres de Juxtlahuaca, aportan como
herencia al mundo entero. Orgullo de Oaxaca.

They do have a buffet breakfast there upstairs however we do enjoy going trackside (admission free) once a year and just watch the Derby and Oaks horses do their morning workouts - in my opinion it is the best way to see these incredible horses and you can't beat the price (it's free). They do have breakfast sandwiches available (they're very good) down by the paddock as well. It really is the best way to get the true flavor of the upcoming Oaks (Friday) and The Kentucky Derby this Saturday (without having to buy a dress, shoes and a hat). The jockeys also give you wonderful photo ops - this is my most favorite part of Derby Week (especially if you're crowd-shy). If you're betting you get a better look at who the best bets are! And it's dress casual.

Amazing how when Lent arrives the seafood suddenly gets better. Even the shrimps clean themselves up. The card is for size comparison only. If you do purchase shrimp here in Kentucky be sure to de-vein them and soak them in milk to absorb the toxins and odor prior to serving.
Yet the US Government now does not require a certificate of origin from seafood, hence these shrimps could be from a sewage laden shrimp farm in Thailand or oil laden Gulf of Mexico. Know where your shrimp originate from. Learn about seafoods you're consuming: www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=107#...

There is a foul odor emanating from this Navy Dock in front of the Ford Plant in Louisville, KY, USA. We are unsure of it's origin. The odor can be detected while on foot as it appears to be confined to a local area - it is similar to burned rubber. It burns our eyes and respiratory systems. I am not sure how Ford Employees tolerate it. I hope they have respirators to use.

This "Sustainable Seafood" refrigeration unit has been malfunctioning for years. Frequently we will see orange ballasts on the floor where water and freon leak through. Kroger did make a concerted effort to at least provide non-rancid seafood during Lent, which was nice.
Many times when shopping in this Kroger the rancid odor will sicken my dog. I hope they fix this! I try not to go into this store.

This line crew was working today in very hot, humid conditions in a very small high-traffic area using outdated equipment and still got the job done. They are brave!

This site is directly adjacent to a "Natural Protected Area".
From a 2004 MSD publication (Louisville and Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District - "flooding your homes, with love"):
www.msdlouky.org/aboutmsd/pdfs/msd04ar_med.pdf
MSD is well-known as the sewer and stormwater utility,
wastewater treatment plant operator and keeper of the
floodgates. MSD is also the permittee on the Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System permit for Jefferson
County. As the holder of the permit, MSD is tasked with
enforcing the Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control
Ordinance in Jefferson County.
The goal of the EPSC Ordinance is to improve stream water quality by reducing the amount of sediment discharged from
construction sites to streams.
***********
Note to MSD -
1. Goal not achieved.
2. Consult with and/or hire experienced, qualified engineers & hydrologists.
3. Study/learn/master drainage calculations and patterns.
4. Become better familiar with long-term weather patterns.
5. Plan ahead (as in, short-term / long-term - it is not unrealistic to expect this in our lifetimes).
6. It's not cool to flood homes all the time - please check that. The University of Louisville already has enough student housing and buildings.
7. Be considerate of your neighboring communities when trashing hundreds of acres. They will (or may not) thank you for it - depending on the quality of your work.
No raise for you! --
