Saturday: January 12, 2013. An unbelievably, unseasonable, sunny day in NEO.  The West Side Market had a banner day with some vendors selling out of items.  I rode my bike down and dropped it off at Joy Machines.  While I shopped, Joy Machines' Renato replaced my kick stand and trued my tires (damaged by the bike racks on RTA).  All for a reasonable $20.00.  Great service, great guys.

So, regardless of whether the levy passes, we will see a state-appointed commission take the helm of Cleveland schools as soon as January.

Even worked out new payment arrangement so she pays less.

Meet with a couple visting from Dayton to research her family--specifically, the Fish Family, one of the original settlers in Cuyahoga County.  It helps that the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood retains some of the architecture and landmarks that can help her trace her family and provide a touchstone. 

How many of us, will be able to have that comfort ten, twenty, thirty years from now??

US economy is deep down in mammoth federal debts. The total amount of debt has already exceeded $15 trillion; the number is supposed to grow in coming days. Almost 2/3rd of the total amount is owed to public, foreign governments and companies through notes, bonds and Treasury bills. The Federal government has hardly any option to pay off the debts and become ;;;;;
