lmcshane's blogBo Diddley DiesSubmitted by lmcshane on Tue, 06/03/2008 - 09:53.
Bo Diddley died yesterday. We should all appreciate people before they die, but his was a great life and I can say that I appreciated his life lesson. He came to perform at Miami University, while I was in college there and I worked on the student program board, so I saw a bit of the off-stage persona, as well as the on-stage persona.

TrainsSubmitted by lmcshane on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 08:06.
Where do the tracks take us? Pondering the fate of trains in America. My Aunt just told me about the Hiawatha Trail in Idaho. Interesting to see how it is financed. This shot was taken in Frostburg, MD, with a simple, plastic box camera--no gizmos. More shots attached.

Frogs, Hogs, DogsSubmitted by lmcshane on Sun, 05/25/2008 - 14:31.
The parking lot at the Metroparks Zoo was filling up to capacity as I rode my bike over the Brighton-Brooklyn Bridge today. I was intrigued to note that some of the pedestrian crossing signal changers were gone--notably the street level boxes that allowed pedestrians to cross at Denison, ALDI's and Archwood.* I looked up and saw the sign advertising the new program at the zoo. The sponsor is TCP.

Wrong questions and aliasesSubmitted by lmcshane on Tue, 05/20/2008 - 20:17.
Why didn't I just use an alias like everyone else? I don't like the look that I got tonight from Eugene Sanders at the Cleveland Metropolitan School District meeting tonight.

Awhile back, Roldo mentioned that the newspaper still has relevance. Today, this article proves it.

My father always said that the Catholic Church put on the best show in town, but after Vatican II, he migrated to the second best show in town the Anglican/Episcopal church. Father Tim delivers his epistle to the diocese.

Vote for Alex PavloffSubmitted by lmcshane on Sun, 05/18/2008 - 13:53.
Vote for Alex Pavloff for USG Arts & Science Representative. He is a human: not a zombie.This is where a photo sure would come in handy. The sign is posted on the Designated Smoker Sign near the Veale Convocation Center and penciled in to the sign in parentheses is the comment (and a smoker).

What a waste of potential and so typical of our leadership. Sheryl Harris again proves she is one of the most balanced voices out there. Google TransitSubmitted by lmcshane on Sat, 05/17/2008 - 14:17.
RTA will soon join cities around the world that have teamed up with Google to provide on-the-spot assistance with public tranportation.

This will segue nicely to my next post on Romanian cinema, but in the meantime, pay close attention to the future star/campaigner pictured below: ![]() Three year old Owen clinches Pittsburgh as the site for the 2009 G-20 summit with a high five.
Mrs. SeifertSubmitted by lmcshane on Thu, 04/17/2008 - 08:49.
AuthentiCITY--Mrs. Seifert at City Hall puts the REAL in RealNEO. I have to love this woman who answers the phone for the City of Cleveland. She knows her job and she does it well. I called to comment about the recycling program was patched through to the Mayor's Action Line and patched through to Nicole in Public Service. I felt like I was heard today. Thanks to Nicole, too. The whole transaction took 5 minutes. No music, no endless button-pushing. Results. ( categories: )

Bad dreamsSubmitted by lmcshane on Thu, 04/03/2008 - 08:12.
Last night, I woke up as I do on many nights to a bad dream. A dear friend was trapped in a windowless cell, but he would not see the tunnel afforded him under the bunk of his bed. I tried to show it to him, but I had to confess that looking down the narrow tunnel afforded me no comfort. I woke up with chest pains. Fear for myself and fear for my friend. Do we stay in our cells, because of our fear of the unknown? We choose the hell we know over the unknown? Phillip Morris' column today reminds me of my bad dream. In today's hard times, we can all feel that hand on the neck - Phillip Morris

Thursday, April 03, 2008 I remember the first time I witnessed a killing. I was 6. The poor guy had his neck snapped in two. But he was a stubborn brawler. He refused to go down without a loud and bitter ruckus.

(to Librarians and other people, and they will be NICE to you!) From Library Journal Insider:
A Retired Librarian Leaves $2M to West Hartford Public Library March 19, 2008 Often, the story of an unexpected major bequest involves a patron who quietly but regularly used the library. In the case of the West Hartfort Public Library, CT, however, the story stars a longtime reference librarian, Thomas Kilfoil, who died in 2005 at 82 and left the library $2 million. (He worked until he was 79.)
