Fixin' things Before they are (obviously or likely) Broken...with hope and care

Thank you to all who have taken time to learn of the events that transpired ten years ago when a group of youths unfortunately went to the Falls in Falls Village Ct on a high, fast-water day. The main problems were minors going (even with permission from some adults) and the fast water, particularly going into the water.

Three youths were saved and for that we could ring some bells and have a special time of gratitude...for all who have miracle saves or survive close calls.

This post is one I put on a thread about driving disasters and concerns in the Northwest Corner Chatter. There are about a dozen people pondering this question, so likely it's a common problem all over the country. We are a small, rather friendly and reasonable population, but not so much all are in that mode..especially on the road.  Another tip about passing...ideally Don't Do It if there's no real need..if you are only going a short distance (a few miles more for instance.

Country haven a bit of heaven

Kids spinning their way toward the stars

Round and round the lamp post like

Three living hands of a clock

People turning into Things Over Time

Under a spell on the stage of life

Turns with Words, Deeds, Dreams

Figuring out Things Alone and Together

Fireworks Exploding into mini supernovas

Belly dancer shimmying

Bent over backwards

Rainbows igniting 

Billowy Storm Clouds Appearing

Three letters, minutes or people added

People challenging whitewater

Then suddenly Disappearing and 

Some reappearing, but not all

This post like most covers more than one topic (in case you are wondering whether I realize that, I do...and encourage more people to let themselves connect the dots of what they are learning about in these times and sharing insights or questions, concerns and possible solutions.)

 For most things that really need doing (and thinking though and imagining options for improving) 'it's no one's job.' Likely we've all heard of the 100 million dollars one of the wealthiest (moneywise) families wants to give CT for education...to be matched by another 100 million over five years by the state.

Yes, I tuned into segments of the live Robert Mueller Reports. How About You?

I will look forward to seeing what the referees and news reports say about the tennis match, I mean the Congressional questioning of Robert Mueller about the possible meddling of Trump or his team in the election process with the Russians.

There was a lot of back and forth, and important referencing to the Mueller Report. The basics are likely being summarized nicely by yahoo and the other news outlets. That's not what I focus on as much as pondering various points and questions that are worth noting.

I don't have time to do so, but I learned of concerns (yes, from both sides) about the 22
