RTA  raises fares

Recently Roldo has hammered away at the Greater Cleveland Rapid Transit Authority for raising fares and cutting the circulator busses.   The head of the RTA indicated that they needed to save money to make their budget.  

This afternoon, on Payne, behind the Greyhound station, there was a constant queue of about 8 or 10 busses idling - while - I assume - they waited for their schedule to role around on the clock.

Zinnia - please tell me more about color

This week these colors are actually out of date here in NEO.  I took the images about 3 weeks ago, and was distracted until now so I didn't get them up on Realneo (Rn) in a timely fashion.   Anyway, here they are as a colorful counterpoint to the dreary stuff - mine included - which has been in the header lately.  These absolutely spectacular flowers grew out of the gound under the Geauga sun.  Rn people - users I know - raised, watered, cut and brought these flowers to my camera.  Very cool.

But how does Mother Nature do this color?

Ever think about having to have your vital signs monitored?

Ever think about having to have your vital signs monitored?
I spent a few nights in the ICU taking turns keeping a patient company.  
 The monitors in each ICU room could carry the vital signs of two patients, so when the nurse was taking care of one ICU patient, the vital signs of the other patient - which the nurse was covering - could be viewed.  The image for this banner shows a few vitals for one patient.  If the vitals ran out of an acceptable range, an audible alarm sounded.

I've Been Told By A Confidant Of East Cleveland Mayor Brewer To Watch Out For Retaliation

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 09/28/2009 - 11:40.

At around 5 PM, on September 23, 2009, WKYC Channel 3 news reported "shocking and disturbing photos, allegedly of incumbent Mayor Eric Brewer, are being circulated in the community, The Investigator Tom Meyer has learned." Photographs that appear to be East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer in woman's clothes, some that are pornographic, have apparently been circulating in East Cleveland for over a year - reportedly many years - and been broadly published by the mainstream media since the 23rd.

On the 24th, I was called by one of the mayor's confidants and told to watch out for retaliation. It seems that Mayor Brewer told the confidant he thinks I distributed the pictures of the mayor. I am not the only person being targeted by such paranoid delusions.

Dear Cleveland Cavaliers,

As you well know, 100,000,000s of people look up to you as community leaders and role models - these are responsibilities you accept as sports and public figures who are intentionally "in the news", for profit.

When my friend Kieth called and asked me to come over, last Thursday night, I could tell by his voice something was very wrong. When I arrived, he looked in shock - he told me his youngest son's mother had called to say their child had shot a mail carrier in Maple Heights.

Coal Steam Generation Plant at University Hospitals Cleveland

It recently came to my attention that one of the most serious sources of pollution in Cuyahoga County is literally in my back yard. Less than two kilometers upwind from my home are the coal and natural gas fired external boilers at the power plant shown above, at University Hospitals, operated by Medical Center Company (MCCo), polluting the surrounding neighborhoods since the 1930s.

Seasonal Public Service - Julia Childs' Baked Stuffed Tomato Recipe

 

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until bread crumbs are slightly browned but tomatoes still hold their shape.

(Save the tomato seeds and juice and add to/or make soup for another meal)

Bon Appetit

 

a word from me, Jeff Buster:  This dish is really delectible.   I can easily eat half of this recipe.  So if you are trying

Boy this no-cost concept  for public education, civic amusement, or community entertainment has gone out of Style.

Our civic space has become totally prostituted.  

You pay about a half a C note to watch ads on the jumbotron at an Indians Wahoo Jacobs Progressive Gateway Corporate RICO mind control event.

Same at the Quicken Loan Arena.

Tree down in Shaker Heights

As Jeff Buster reported on REALNEO, this summer there was some severe weather activity in the Shaker Heights area, where  my parents live, that took down a huge number of huge trees.

Does airing really dirty old laundry help reach a fresh new truth?

Why does the entire bridge need replacement if it can be repaired/strengthened in the manner in which ODOT has already implemented (image August 09 of north westerly truss over Cuyahoga River from behind the Cold Storage building).

Office Space
When I was working on a 1990 Honda Civic hatchback and I opened up this Electronic Control Module, the physical lay out of the components made me think of office cubicles – each of the little colored components an office employee.    I don’t view many movies, but I recommend Office Space, (the humble Swingline stapler becomes a cave man's tool, a status/turf symbol) as a classic employee/employer relationship explanation.

Cherry Tomato for dinner

Cherry Tomato for dinner

From seed to the table.   Get ready to consume vegetables - because they are ripening in high gear for the next few months.  

Sauté in a little bit of butter (confess), and then continue to cook in 3 or 4 tablespoons of half and half cream.  (credit for cooking isn’t mine, image and eating only)   Add chopped chives for garnish, looks, and flavor.  Olive oil is another cooking option.
