Brainstorming About Safety on All Fronts (and Some Fun too) as 2019 Wraps Up and 2020 Begins Big Time!

When looking to see what's going on in one's area, check local papers and listings online and tune into one's local radio station. In the northwest corner of CT that's WQQQ, 103.3 FM, home of the smallest NPR (National Public Radio station in the country, so worth learning about and hearing Marshall Miles who mostly brings smiles to folks but he's not afraid to point out a few things that need fixin' on his own time too.)  Hats off to all bloggers, podcasters and radio DJs keeping people in the know and feeling connected with their area and bigger issues too.

To take A Picture of Someone in a Parade or Not? A Prompt for This Deep Dive from a Northwest Corner Chatter topic Dec.23rd,2019

This is a helpful discussion that I'll put on livfully.org...Maybe more people with concerns could wear eye masks and then let their friends know who they are later (or before for family etc.) Likely more of a disclaimer needs to be made to all before joining the parade...Maybe they can help in other ways, don costumes that hide them and so forth.
 
I'll mention on my blog livfully.org and I have hashed these kinds of things out for many years, long before the internet...about holidays in public schools and so on.

Giving Rides to Youth or Others In Need with "no questions Asked" an idea being kicked around in some circles.. what do you think?

Every school community of parents and support folks could encourage some 'go to' trustworthy adults to keep youth safe in every class. Most parents trust people in their communities and really should have a clue if anyone has a drinking or drugging issue (or felony or other concern.)

Likely two adults (or another back up car, etc) could be on call and respond. Ideally more networks would emerge to help each youth be involved with programs to help them do well in school and develop skills and interests.

Clear rules to keep everyone 'in line' would likely result in fewer 'wild card cases'.

There's No Missing The Solstice in Terms of Plan-It Heart's Location from the Sun and Such

Is anyone else tuning more into what the solstice means beyond 'a special day on the calendar near Hannukah and Christmas'? Should grade school children be introduced to the scientific and cultural meanings? What about other insights from visionaries and such? I want to summarize more of what I've been learning but the jist is it's a special time for the earth and humanity... location, location, location wise but also how that affects the light and our proximity to the sun (we're much closer this year than last but still tilted so chilly in the NE of America.)

This year in 2019 it's special
