RAIN RAIN RAIN / new Columbus business opening

HAPPY Eid al-Adha to you. As I like to call it The Feast of the Sacrifice the 2nd of two Islamic holiidays. I think we need to make this a yearly event in Columbus.  We could use the deer in the deer cages. I know I know the original intent was for Ibrahim to sacrifice one of his sons but I GUESS that is now frowned upon now (not like the good ol' days) so God provided a ram (how nice of him, always thinking).

Now here is where it gets complicated. Once the animal is sacrificed 1/3 goes to the poor, another 1/3 to relatives and the final 1/3 is for the family.  I'm glad it's not his son being divided into 3rds.

RAIN RAIN RAIN.  Look for HEAVY rain starting this afternoon.  There are flash flood warnings for the area.  Expect 1 to 2 inches with some local 4 inches clusters.  Yea - the atmosphere is saturated.

We heading to Door County tomorrow with the entire crew so blogging will be spotty this week.

One of the things that always annoyed me was the lack of caring for the looks of downtown Columbus.  I THOUGHT we addressed this with a group that worked on downtown beauty and we ear marked $$ for railings, garbage cans, trees, bike racks and I expected them to be installed early spring  . . . I leave for a few months and nothing gets done.  That group no longer met and faded away.

I'm glad we have a new group for downtown beautification and hope they get the funds needed to create some beauty . . ANY beauty.

With that said . check out this beautiful school.   Makes kids REALLY excited to go to school through this beautiful entrance.  How inspiring.  Madison LaFollate HS in Tennessee

I can see kids really being artistic and thinking outside the box.

Truth isn't truth and facts are opinions expressed as truth.  - makes sense.

Anybody watch Kevin Spacey's new movie? "Billionaires Club"?  Probably not - it only opened in 8 theaters and earned a opening day total of . . wait for it . . $126.  But MORE then doubled it on Saturday with another $162. I'm not sure what projections were.

Be careful who you donate money too.  I've had fire AND police contact me asking for donations and making me feel guilty.  YET - in Dallas two organizations collecting money for fallen police officers received $3.2 million and donated 78% of it to themselves.

DPD sergeant collected millions for fallen officers. A fraction went to the families
