Morning all!! Such a pretty bird up there! Happy Birthday Debra!! 🎂
Praying for you Chas. Sore throats are just the worst…have you seen the doc? Seeing how you are on opposite ends of the country I don’t believe you caught it from Dj! 😐
We’re studying poems of Robert Louis Stevenson this year (we being 5th and 6th Arrows in their homeschool enrichment studies). So it was a pleasant surprise to find that a music publisher with whom I’m familiar sells a collection of three books of piano solos based on the composer’s musical renderings of some of RLS’s poems. The books are fairly close to 6th Arrow’s present piano level (one is at, two are slightly below), so it’ll be a fun and mostly quick study to play those pieces that correspond with the poem studied.
Good Morning Everyone. I am out of sorts and can’t really figure it out. There is some stress at work. I no longer feel the joy I once had because things are changing. Also, after a year and a half of being told that my position really doesn’t matter, I believe them. There was a meeting yesterday and it was very clear that two of them had already come to an agreement and my inclusion in the meeting was only a formality so that they could say I was a part of it. I feel the winds of change. It is no longer just a little breeze.
This is what is going on around here. What are your thoughts? Have you had toll roads like this? 55 years seems like a long time and $6 ONE WAY sounds expensive.
Kim, I have never travelled on a ferry, but haven’t some people commuted to work daily on a ferry, which has to cost something like that? Personally I would rather not use a toll road, but presumably its presence will eliminate some congestion on other roads, and also give commuters an option. (If it saves you an hour, is it worth $6? I would imagine that some days the answer will be yes.)
I never did the long-distance commute thing in Chicago. (My commute time was about half an hour in the morning, about 50% longer most days going home.) But I know that for some commuters they had a choice of a really expensive toll road (I wanna say it was more than $6, and that would have been 15 years ago) or a longer route. I think it helped some make the decision to carpool, with everyone in the carpool chipping in a couple dollars a day for the shorter route. Those who chose the other route (the longer route) also benefitted, since it got some cars off their road. My hunch is you will find the same thing here, that carpool rates go up and congestion overall will lessen.
Personally, I hate the idea of leasing roads to outside entities with no control over the cost. We have at least one such road in the Midwest, a 100-year lease to China or something like that. Well, let’s say that residents do find a way to make the cost work, carpooling with three to five people in most cars, and the leasee decides they aren’t earning enough money and they raise the cost to $10. No one can say anything about it. That is the most risky part of this, I think.
Kim, we, of course do not have any toll roads but I have used them. The electronic payment certainly speeds up the process. And, because the causeway etc will still be available, the congestion on that should be much less. The city will continue to grow so the infrastructure help is needed. Having a long term contract with no restriction??? I don’t think that is a good idea.
So, all in all, if somebody wants to put up a toll road, there are other options available to the public, it sounds positive. Six dollars a trip is about the cost of one of those coffees, isn’t it? One hundred twenty dollars a month is maybe the cost of a phone now. We live in a country where people like to spend for unnecessary things that are convenient or nice.
And there is the, “if we implement this one percent sales tax, we will never need to ask for more for education”. Disregard the current six percent sales tax and the constant levies.
Just be sure to pay any toll road bills you receive from TX. I misplaced one I received in the mail from when we visited Wesley and ended up paying a big overdue fine; I’m thinking the bill was about $45.
If time is money, $6 to save an hour is a small price to pay if you’re in a real hurry.
I used the one in Orange County, CA whenever I visited my aunt 20 years ago. I had only a limited amount of time and I gladly paid for that extra hour to spend with her.
On a daily commute . . . well, again, if it’s an hour I could spend with my family rather than on the road, I’d probably pay it.
OTOH, aren’t roads what our gas taxes are supposed to pay for?
They’re diluted elsewhere here in progressive Sonoma County–so all our good folks now drive trucks and the hated SUVs.
Except for the parents stuck in mini-vans because their children have to remain in car seats until they’re 8 years old.
Cute tufted titmouse. That’s one bird it’s a whole lot easier to get close to if you offer food! I can hardly photograph them now (shots at least that distant; they flee readily), but used to be able to get close shots when we fed them.
Boy had his first appointment with a therapist today. I don’t yet know how it went because it was for late morning, and now they are picking up Chickadee for our visit today. When Boy learned he had to go to this appointment, he started having a crying fit and didn’t want to go. But Nightingale got him out the door and into the car and on their way.
A few days ago, she received a copy of the letter that was sent to his pediatrician by the doctor who did his autism assessment. One of the things he wrote was about Boy’s not picking up on social cues, and kind of hiding behind silliness and goofiness. He also mentioned a couple obsessive traits he has. It made me sad reading it, but there was really nothing in it that I didn’t already know about Boy, it was just more “official” in medical/psychological terms.
The toll on our bridge, back in the day, offered discounted ticket books that saved regular commuters some money. But regular passage over that was a lot less than $6.
Chas, my virus started with a sore throat and a cough; but you also want to guard against it developing into pneumonia if the cough becomes serious (mine did but no pneumonia was detected when I finally went to the doctor). Dry cough? Congestion? Fever? A possible allergy to something blooming right now?
Nightingale is hiding a relationship from me, and I don’t know why. She has told me when she’s gone out with the other men she’s dated. This has me feeling concerned for her.
There is a push to bring tolls back to some Connecticut highways. People are not happy about that, especially since our new governor campaigned on not being in favor of tolls, and now insists we need them.
6 Arrows, I still have (minus dust cover) the book I got for my seventh birthday: A Child’s Garden of Verses. I have a summer birthday, but I remember taking it for show and tell, must have been seventh grade, and I think the teacher asked me to read at least one favorite from it.
I memorized “The Swing” just by reading it so often (and I still know it), and then I intentionally memorized “My Shadow” and tried to memorize one or two others but did so imperfectly. Maybe that was when my parents signed us up for Bible Memory Association and I started putting my efforts there instead, but I don’t know.
Cheryl, I still have that book of poems from my childhood, too, and also memorized “The Swing.” I started saying it to the granddaughters when they got their swing set and I was pushing them. Now they always ask me to say it again when they are swinging.
Cheryl and Linda, “The Swing” is one of the poems we’ll be studying — in fact, we’ll be getting to it next month — and is also one of the poems for which 6th Arrow has a piano solo based on it.
I didn’t do a lot of poetry reading as a child, and am rather enjoying getting to know some more now as I go through them with the kids.

I can still recite The Owl and the Pussycat from memory. Now people look at you funny because of a newer connotation to one of the characters. I learned this poem before I could read. My great-grandmother taught it to me.
I can still recite the Duel and most of Jest ‘ For Christmas by Eugene Field
I cannot recite all of Maud Muller anymore. I learned these from a paperback book of One Hundred and One Famous Poems that was published in 1919. I have bought a newer hardback version but it has some different poems in it. From it I also learned In Flanders Fields.
I think I have told you before that I DESPISE the poem about Trees—I think I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree…. As luck would have it, I just went through the whole poem. (:
I love ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’. There is a board book illustrated version with beautiful pictures by Jan Brett. I have got copies for both Second and Youngest’s families. I love to read it out loud to them and make funny voices for the Owl and the Pussycat. Edward Lear wrote quite a few nonsense poems and another one that Tiny likes is ‘The Jumblies’. Being an aunt, I often read children’s literature out loud. Years ago, I found a British children’s poetry anthology in a bargain bin – it had typographical errors, so that is how it ended up costing only a few dollars. I got it for myself, as it had a lot of the poems I liked, such as ‘Jabberwocky’, ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’ (another fun one for voices), quite a few of R.L. Stevenson’s verses, and well loved nursery rhymes. In my search for new things to read to Tiny, I tried that, and she enjoyed the poems so much that she has asked for it again several times.
Growing up, my mother had dozens of old school readers, which all had a poetry section, and she also had old secondary school poetry anthologies, including her own (with a good number of doodles as well as notes). I preferred reading the stories in the reader and not the poems, so my personal knowledge of poetry was for a time limited to the nursery rhymes I had heard since I was a baby. But my mother often quoted from the poems that she, her siblings, and her parents had memorized. One day, she went hunting for an poem she always quoted from about the moon – it turned out to be ‘Silver’ by Walter de la Mare – and in the course of helping her find it in one of the readers, I fell in love with poetry and began reading and memorizing it for myself.
Re, “The Duel” I frequently use the phrase, “I wasn’t there, I only state what was told to me by the Chinese plate” instead of saying, “not sure, but so-and-so told me.”
6, the reconfiguration may have automatically signed out the subscribers, meaning they have to set up the sign in again. Or, it could be a phishing scam – always want to be cautious about clicking on links in emails that ask you to give information in order to set up or repair an account. When in doubt, check whether the organization actually sent out the email.
On the surface, everything looks normal about the email. Hovering over the “From:” identifier shows an email address that I think is correct (memberservicesATwngDOTorg). Scam emails I’ve received have had some odd address listed with the name of the person whose address got hacked.
But like I said before, it seemed a little strange that I would be getting a “Dear Member” email when I thought membership was determined by whether or not one was a subscriber, which I no longer am, and haven’t been for some years.
The wording and timing of the email was kind of a head-scratcher (for me, anyway), too, as it said, “all users who have not logged in since 07/29/2019…” But the email itself was dated July 29. Wouldn’t you think the “since” date would be a date before the send date, and not the same day? It’s like saying, “all users who have not logged in since today…”
Help me out here — I can’t wrap my brain around that, LOL. 🙂
I’m pretty sure that message from World is legit and safe. I also received it yesterday. I always look behind the sender “name” (World Member Services) which can be spoofed to say anything, to see what the actual sending address is.

I also am not an active World subscriber, but in the past I have been and have logged in, so I guess I still have an account that I never use.
I cross-posted with you, 6. I hadn’t noticed the “since 7/29/19”, which does sound weird. It might be a typo. But you did the right thing checking the actual sending email address.
Foggy morning to you all. I was too tired last night to wait up for you. The crying boy made it through the day without crying. I moved several students as i could see we had some lonely ones who needed a friend. This afternoon is our Open House.
