If we reap, what WE SOW: collectively, we have LOST much more than TIME. Things like the common good; generosity and kindness.
They have all taken a back seat to mask and vaccine WARS. Having lost one million people; what have we gained ?

Thank God---THEY got a degree of Justice. Have learned the hard way that the best we can hope for is a degree of Equity and Justice. They are met half-way at least by their settlement, and deserve every part of it. After the Lawyers take their 50% and fees.

Global Charm from Newark to Vancouver and back.

I recently walked by an older apartment building in the West End of Vancouver. It was built of wood and finished in painted stucco, which was popular here in the second half of the previous century. The front wall, however, was designed in a way that reminded me of the entrance to Newark Penn Station, with the aluminum framed grid of windows. The window frames on the apartment building were aluminum (typical of that era), but they were set in a wooden framework that had been painted to match.
This isn’t in itself a unique or remarkable design concept, and Newark Penn Station is obviously not the only place that it can be found. However, the places we pass through unthinkingly can often leave a deep impression on our minds. Why would we not want these things to be the best that they can be?

Newark Penn Station was in part Art Deco and a WPA project that has waited decades for an interior paint job.
