Blessed Are The Peacemakers (Five Quotes on Non-Violence)

(To read about Sister Karen Klimczak, the originator of the peaceprints signs, click here.) This is in response to the horrific incident that happened at the University of California at Davis very recently (to see videos and photos, click here or here). It is inconceivable to me that this actually happened. Whatever side of theContinue reading “Blessed Are The Peacemakers (Five Quotes on Non-Violence)”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#369 & #370)…and how I turned them into bread (recipe and pics)

#369 (on my way to work in the morning)…A canvas bag containing a couple books and writing implements, 3 plastic buckets of different sizes…the largest of them containing a whole wheat preferment made with an  additional seven grain mix and its cooking liquid,  the other containing a whole wheat autolyse with a few tablespoons ofContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#369 & #370)…and how I turned them into bread (recipe and pics)”

Wind Power

Now this looks really fun…if not a bit dangerous. They’re images of hotel guests from the Ormond Hotel in Ormond Beach, Florida taken in 1903 (the images were found here). Unfortunately, the hotel–which was on the list of the US National Register of Historic Places was torn down to make room for beachfront condominiums. IContinue reading “Wind Power”

A Few Images Through an Inexpensive Lense

This post is twofold. Firstly, it is another in the theme that when you walk or ride a bike you witness so much more than when in a car (yes, I know I’ve been harping on this lately but it is important in my daily life), and in the case of myself–or anyone–it offers near-countlessContinue reading “A Few Images Through an Inexpensive Lense”

Is this Ironic (or just circular)?

I think this picture is really interesting but can’t wonder if it’s not a bit ironic. I often ride past this building on my way to a store; it’s the original Pierce Arrow building, which was once the factory of luxury cars by the same name. But what a lot of people don’t realize isContinue reading “Is this Ironic (or just circular)?”

Interfaith Occupation

I hadn’t been to Occupy Buffalo for a couple weeks but heard that this evening they were having an interfaith service and candlelight vigil so I went down. I was impressed with the occupation for a few reasons today. The first is that they are still there…we have had some foul weather and they haveContinue reading “Interfaith Occupation”

Frittata di Verdure Arrosto al Forno

This is really just a variation on a theme from other open-faced omelets (frittati) that I’ve made, posted on this blog, and then eaten. During the summer months I’ll often cook them entirely on the stove top, as not to heat up the kitchen with the oven, but this time a year the heat isContinue reading “Frittata di Verdure Arrosto al Forno”
