Did you know? Every year, between 12,000 and 15,000 bicycles are recovered from the canals of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The city's water authority, Waternet, uses a special claw on a crane installed on a barge to clean the canals. Original post

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

A water pump at far center distance feeds and renews pond water with a steady flow. It has been turned down to a trickle. Water receded from shoreline and dried out, last year's sunken lily pads are exposed, the clear waters are now murky. TRICKLE DOWN IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.
