For God’s Sake

I write these columns the week before they are published, so this piece will be read two days after the presidential election. It is safe for me to predict, now less than one week out, that roughly half of this nation is cheering the election results, and the other half is sorely disappointed, perhaps even angry.

Out and About

I was at the water department today, November 4, attempting to straighten out where a water bill is being mailed, and a very slender gentleman came in wanting to put $8 down on his $20 water bill so his water wouldn’t be turned off. He’s been employed in the flooring business for more than 20 years and he said that this year has been the slowest. He thinks it is because people are waiting for the outcome of the election.

Since Oct. 4, 1995, the State of Florida and Japan’s Wakayama Prefecture have been linked through a sister-state relationship. This agreement, meant to strengthen friendship and cooperation between the two states through trade, economic development, and sharing each other’s arts and culture, has led to a cross-pollination of cultures in the world of pottery.

When was the first Veterans Day?

Veteran’s Day is celebrated in many countries worldwide, and the United States takes November 11 as seriously as any other; with roughly 18 million veterans in the U.S., it’s important to honor those keeping our country, our allies, and civilians safe.
