Atticus outdoors
Which he will (we hope) associate with Akron, and not Columbus.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND, 2005

ABOVE The Oompa Loompas. From the Columbus Children's Parade.

 

ABOVE Enhanced artwork. Sometimes even the wildlife enjoys a good art show and has to get a good, upclose look at the works on display. This canvas was in the booth from Acme Art Co.

Hot Times Festival
Walked over for a little while late afternoon.

ABOVE Comfortable? Walking back from Hot Times, we were watched by a kitten perched high on a concrete wall.

 

Holiday Tour Very Pre-view
Walked through the turn-of-the-(last)-century Broad Street mansion that until a year ago served as the corporate offices of Columbus' largest slumlord, Broad Street Management. The company was wound up after selling out to a semi-public agency for far more money than could ever have been justified, and the offices were put up for sale. The house was purchased and is now being transformed back into a private residence, and will be the centerpiece of this year's Olde Towne holiday tour. (Much more to come on this house.)

 

Columbus Children's Parade
Is not the place to take Charlie. What with the ORV's doing wheelies, the motorcycle corps, and the drum corps, Charlie strongly objected to the noise.

 

ABOVE The art cars ... are a traditional part of the children's parade, afterwards going on display throughout the Hot Times Festival, billed as the largest gathering of arts cars in Columbus.

The largest gathering of art cars in Columbus had perhaps 10 altogether. But considering that all of the art cars were late for the parade, driving up and joining in as the parade met them, it may just be that "gathering" people who own art cars in no easy management task.

 

 

 

We'll never get to see WaterFire
The first month, we left that very morning for South Dakota; the second month, we drove over with M&D and waited until seconds before the scheduled lighting time, when a downpour hit and we rushed back to the car. We gave up, but apparently they lit the fires later on the evening without us. The third scheduled lighting, tonight, was cancelled when organizers realized that it would be competing with a night game at the Horseshoe, OSU v. Texas. In Columbus, No one competes with OSU football. So they'll try again next month.

When "emergency" means only "fix the PR"
Frustrated: Fire crews to hand out fliers for FEMA | Salt Lake Tribune

ATLANTA - Not long after some 1,000 firefighters sat down for eight hours of training, the whispering began: "What are we doing here?"

As New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin pleaded on national television for firefighters - his own are exhausted after working around the clock for a week - a battalion of highly trained men and women sat idle Sunday in a muggy Sheraton Hotel conference room in Atlanta.

Many of the firefighters, assembled from Utah and throughout the United States by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, thought they were going to be deployed as emergency workers.

Instead, they have learned they are going to be community-relations officers for FEMA, shuffled throughout the Gulf Coast region to disseminate fliers and a phone number: 1-800-621-FEMA.

On Monday, some firefighters stuck in the staging area at the Sheraton peeled off their FEMA-issued shirts and stuffed them in backpacks, saying they refuse to represent the federal agency.

...

Firefighters say they want to brave the heat, the debris-littered roads, the poisonous cottonmouth snakes and fire ants and travel into pockets of Louisiana where many people have yet to receive emergency aid.

But as specific orders began arriving to the firefighters in Atlanta, a team of 50 Monday morning quickly was ushered onto a flight headed for Louisiana. The crew's first assignment: to stand beside President Bush as he tours devastated areas.

This is the job FEMA is doing? New Orleans burns and volunteer firefighters from around the country -- listen to a sexual harrasment seminar and prepare to "stand beside" the president?

Delayed departure
Charlie caught sight of the dog next door starting out on a walk, and there was no calm until every one came out together for a visit
