Hii! You asked for asks. What’s you favourite thing to sew when recovering. Also are you a serial hobbiest or do you stick with sewing primarily? Do you have any stickers on your machine, if you have one. What’s your favourite teas?
Feel better!! Day two strong.
I do no sewing when sick. My sewing room is off-limits until I'm recovered.
My hobbies are making quilts and watercolor painting (when i have paint). There were more, but I list a ligament in my right wrist, which has resulted in writing and drawing being extremely painful after more than a minute. I used to draw (cityscapes, portraits, plants, fairies, random whatevers) and color line art (both done traditional, not digital), plus calligraphy. Not anymore. I'm learning embroidery though! I may also get back into making rag dolls this year. Oh, and sewing my own cloths.
No stickers on my machine. Ever. My machine is very pretty on her own. She's a Baby Lock Jubilant.
My fav green tea is You're A Peach by Tea Head, my fav black is English Breakfast by Choice Organics, my cold tea is Findlay Market Fresh by Churchill's Fine Teas, my fav herbal coffee is Dandelion Dark Roast by Teeccino, buy I have many teas in my selection to choose from at random.

"THE SECRET GARDEN"
by Natalia Rak
Painting large scale murals since 2011, Polish artist Natalia Rak quickly became a regular in the most prestigious shows and street art events around the world. Comfortable working in a wide variety of media Rak's work draws from folklore traditions and fairy tales and a love for nature to create rich, glowing female-centric imagery. "The Secret Garden" was painted in 2019 in Cincinnati's historic Findlay Market neighborhood for the BLINK Festival.

December 19th 1904 saw The Scotsman newspaper move to their iconic new offices at North Bridge in Edinburgh.
The redevelopment of Edinburgh's North Bridge in 1899 provided an opportunity for 'The Scotsman' to build one of the most magnificent newspaper headquarters in the world.
Seizing the chance to acquire the prestigious site, 'The Scotsman' employed the services of designers Dunn & Findlay to create a new state-of-the-art building.
In 1905, replacing the meat markets, inns, oyster shops and coffee houses which had stood there before, the new North Bridge building opened.
It had cost £500,000 (around £55 million today) and was the epitome of both luxury and functionality.
On the upper floors, marble pillars, walnut panelling and chandeliers adorned the management offices. The lower levels were equipped with modern printing presses, a tailor-made foundry and wire links to the wider world.

Refrigeration Was A Wonderful Invention When It Wasn’t Trying To Kill You
Over the years, Cincinnatians have discovered myriad methods to kill themselves. Breweries alone offered boiling vats, open shafts, toppling equipment and exploding barrels. At home, poisonous wallpaper, flammable nightgowns and yawning cesspools claimed many lives. As if we needed any additional hazards to jeopardize our safety, the Twentieth Century introduced yet another deadly contraption – the refrigerator.
The Cincinnati Post [22 June 1920] related one incident that nearly ended in tragedy:
“Firemen carried several tenants from upper floors of a four-story building at Eighteenth and Main streets Tuesday when ammonia fumes, escaping from an ice machine in the cellar, entered corridors and apartments. A valve in a machine that supplies refrigeration in the butcher shop of John Stegner, first floor of the building, blew off shortly before 10 a.m., causing the fumes to escape.”
The circumstances involved here were fairly typical for Cincinnati in the early 1920s and 1930s. Refrigeration was just beginning to enter the domestic market and most electric refrigerators were installed by businesses. In the early days, the noisy refrigeration machinery was usually relegated to the basement. The coolant of choice for most commercial systems was ammonia. Some of these installations were ponderous, as reported in the Post [10 March 1930]:
“Attempting to shut off ammonia pipes after a compressor head broke in the 15-ton refrigeration plant at Hamilton County Tuberculosis Sanitarium Monday at 8 a.m., Gus Leistner, 65, of 914 Findlay-st, engineer, partially was overcome by fumes.”
Later that same year, the University Club at Fourth and Broadway had to be evacuated because of ammonia leaking from its refrigeration system. The Strietmann Baking Company at Central Parkway and Plum Street suffered a massive ammonia spill in 1924. Firemen needed gas masks to enter the Hilberg Packing Company at 516 Polar Street in 1928 when ammonia seeping from the refrigerator filled the building.
Tumblr media
Despite such catastrophes, ammonia was the most common coolant for the first thirty years of the 1900s. A Cincinnati firm, the F.W. Niebling & Son Co., of 406 Elm Street, boasted in an advertisement [20 February 1927] that the first ammonia-infused refrigeration plant installed by the company was 31 years old and still “in excellent condition.”
Still, ammonia was connected to so many mishaps that advertisers touted any system that did not involve ammonia. In 1926, the Tudor Court Apartments in Clifton installed a building-wide refrigeration system, with each of the 86 apartments equipped with a Frigidaire unit serviced by a massive compressor in the basement. The owners hastened to advertise that “no brine or ammonia” was used in that system.
Ammonia wasn’t the only chemical employed in refrigeration equipment. Responding to a reader’s inquiry, the Post [22 July 1921] inventoried a veritable witch’s cauldron of compounds used in various systems:
“What is the formula for the solution which is used in the cooling coils of an electric refrigerator? Substances are: Ammonia, carbon dioxide, ethyl chloride, methyl chloride and sulphur dioxide.”
Of that formulary, ammonia’s biggest competitor was methyl chloride, a colorless, odorless, flammable gas. Methyl chloride was more efficient than ammonia and better suited to the small coolant devices required for a single house, as opposed to the big industrial machines cooled by ammonia. Units incorporating methyl chloride were so small they were retrofitted as mechanical ice blocks. Customers kept their old ice boxes, canceled ice delivery and turned on a methyl chloride unit in the same compartment where they would formerly have loaded a block of ice.
Manufacturers also claimed methyl chloride was safer than ammonia. Cincinnati’s Milnor Electric Co. highlighted this benefit in an advertisement [18 March 1923] for their Serv-el Automatic Electric Home Refrigeration products in the Cincinnati Enquirer:
“Important Notice: The gas (methyl-chloride) used in Serv-el is harmless, odorless and non-poisonous. Only Serv-el has this advantage.”
This claim was sorely tested in August 1929 when a rash of deaths blamed on methyl chloride refrigerators was reported from Chicago. The Chicago deaths created a panic among refrigeration companies who appealed to the federal government for assistance. The Cincinnati Enquirer [23 August 1929] reported that three governmental agencies – the Public Health Service, the Bureau of Standards, and the Bureau of Mines – had announced that household refrigeration systems were safe.
“Serious accidents from household refrigeration systems, the statement continued, have been small in comparison to the number in use and added that improvements might be expected that would reduce materially the small hazard that does exist.”
The Chicago deaths gave hope to the consumer ice industry, fighting a losing battle against the march of progress. In an Enquirer advertisement [31 July 1926], the City Ice & Fuel Co. complained that these new-fangled systems required:
“ . . . a complicated, high-cost mechanical-chemical outfit, dependent on a large and continuous supply of electricity to make it ‘run,’ and on some chemical (SULPHUR DIOXIDE OR METHYL CHLORIDE) to create cold – just as ammonia is used in the big ice plants.”
It was, of course, a losing proposition. The old ice boxes were messy, moldy things that really didn’t keep food all that cold and regularly flooded the kitchen with water melted from the huge block of ice delivered by some guy who tracked muddy footprints across your carpet.
All the industry needed was a better coolant, a chemical that cooled your refrigerator but didn’t kill you. The solution came from an inventor named Thomas Midgley Jr., who lived just up the road in Dayton. In 1932, Midgley came up with something called Freon. It checked all the boxes and soon replaced all other coolants for the next 60 years or so.
Problem was, Freon, a chlorofluorocarbon, accumulated in the atmosphere and contributed to the destruction of the ozone layer that protects life on earth from the harmful rays of the sun. So, in essence, to avoid a few disastrous refrigeration accidents, we found a solution that endangered all life on the planet.
Ponder that the next time you pull a brewski from the fridge.

The Best Car Rentals in Cincinnati: Explore the City Your Way
Cincinnati, a vibrant city nestled along the Ohio River, is renowned for its rich history, diverse culture, and stunning architecture. To make the most out of your visit, renting a car in Cincinnati is an ideal option. This article delves into the myriad benefits of car rentals, highlights the top services available, and provides insights on how to explore this charming city at your own pace.
Embracing Freedom: The Advantages of Renting a Car in Cincinnati
When you choose to rent a car in Cincinnati, you unlock a world of convenience and flexibility. Imagine having the freedom to create your own itinerary without the constraints of public transportation schedules. Whether you're a local looking to rediscover your surroundings or a traveler eager to uncover hidden gems, a rental car allows you to navigate the city at your own pace.
One of the greatest advantages of renting a car is the ability to visit attractions that may be off the beaten path. While Cincinnati boasts famous landmarks such as the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden or the iconic Great American Ball Park, there are countless lesser-known spots waiting to be explored. With your own vehicle, you can spontaneously decide to visit a quaint café in Northside or take a scenic drive along the Ohio River, creating a unique experience tailored to your interests.
Additionally, many rental services offer a range of vehicles to suit your preferences. From compact cars ideal for solo travelers to spacious SUVs perfect for families, the options are abundant. This variety ensures that no matter your travel needs, you can find the perfect vehicle to enhance your journey through Cincinnati.
Seamless Airport Car Rentals: Start Your Adventure Right
When flying into Cincinnati, the last thing you want is to waste time arranging transportation after a long journey. This is where airport car rental services shine. Upon landing, you can easily collect your rental car and hit the road, diving straight into the excitement of your Cincinnati adventure.
Airport car rental services are designed for efficiency. Most rental agencies have desks conveniently located within the airport terminal, allowing for quick and easy access to your vehicle. Many also provide a streamlined reservation process, enabling you to secure your car in advance. This way, you can rest assured that your transportation is ready when you are, ensuring a smooth transition from air travel to exploring the city.
Moreover, renting a car from the airport gives you the opportunity to explore popular attractions right away. Whether you're heading to the Cincinnati Art Museum or the historic Findlay Market, your rental car makes it all easily accessible.
Elevating Events: Transportation for Special Occasions
Cincinnati is home to numerous events and celebrations, from corporate gatherings to weddings. Special event transportation is crucial for ensuring that guests arrive on time and in style. Renting a car for these occasions not only adds a touch of sophistication but also alleviates the stress of transportation logistics.
Imagine hosting a wedding in the picturesque gardens of the Cincinnati Botanical Garden and having a fleet of luxury vehicles available to transport guests. By renting a car, you can coordinate arrivals and ensure that everyone is comfortable throughout the day. This attention to detail reflects positively on the event and contributes to a memorable experience for all involved.
For corporate events, having reliable transportation is equally important. Whether you're hosting a conference downtown or a team-building retreat in the outskirts of the city, renting a car allows you to manage schedules effectively. Guests can arrive promptly, and you can showcase the professionalism of your organization by offering seamless transportation solutions.
Exploring Cincinnati: Must-See Attractions Accessible via Car
With your rental car secured, you're ready to embark on an adventure through Cincinnati. The city is brimming with attractions, and having the freedom to drive allows you to curate your own experience. Here are some must-see spots that are easily accessible by car:
The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden
As one of the oldest zoos in the United States, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is a must-visit for animal lovers and families alike. With your rental car, you can conveniently make your way to this iconic attraction, where you can explore diverse wildlife and beautifully landscaped gardens. The zoo is particularly famous for its successful breeding programs, including the beloved Fiona the hippo.
Findlay Market
A visit to Findlay Market is an experience not to be missed. This historic market is a bustling hub of local vendors, offering everything from fresh produce to artisanal goods. With a rental car, you can easily navigate to the market and spend a leisurely afternoon sampling local delicacies, purchasing unique souvenirs, and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.
The Cincinnati Art Museum
For art enthusiasts, the Cincinnati Art Museum is a treasure trove of creativity. With over 67,000 works of art spanning 6,000 years, the museum showcases everything from ancient artifacts to contemporary pieces. The convenience of having a rental car allows you to plan your visit around your schedule, ensuring that you have ample time to appreciate the exhibits.
Smale Riverfront Park
As you explore Cincinnati, don’t forget to visit Smale Riverfront Park. This stunning park along the Ohio River offers picturesque views, walking paths, and recreational activities. With your rental car, you can easily access the park and enjoy a leisurely stroll, a family picnic, or even a bike ride along the riverfront.
Luxury Car Rentals: Experience Cincinnati in Style
For those who wish to elevate their experience, luxury car rental services are available throughout Cincinnati. Imagine cruising through the city in a sleek, high-end vehicle, turning heads at every corner. Renting a luxury car not only enhances your experience but also allows you to make a statement.
Whether you’re attending a special event, celebrating a milestone, or simply want to indulge in the finer things in life, luxury car rentals provide an unforgettable experience. With an array of premium vehicles to choose from, you can select the perfect car that aligns with your style and preferences.
The Perfect Option for Special Occasions
Luxury car rentals are particularly popular for special occasions. Whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, or high-profile business meeting, arriving in a luxurious vehicle sets the tone for the event. Guests will be impressed by your attention to detail, and you’ll feel a sense of pride as you step out of a stunning car.
Moreover, choosing a luxury vehicle can enhance your overall experience in Cincinnati. Picture driving along the scenic routes with the top down, enjoying the fresh air and warmth of the sun. This level of indulgence transforms a simple outing into a cherished memory.
Cost-Effective Car Rentals: Options for Every Budget
While luxury vehicles are enticing, it’s essential to remember that car rentals in Cincinnati also cater to various budgets. Whether you’re looking for an economical compact car or a larger SUV for family travel, rental services offer competitive rates to suit your financial needs.
Many rental agencies provide special deals and discounts, especially during off-peak seasons or for longer rental periods. By doing a bit of research and comparing prices, you can find a rental option that aligns with your budget without compromising on quality.
Additionally, consider the cost-effectiveness of renting a car compared to using ride-sharing services or public transport. With a rental car, you have the flexibility to travel without incurring additional fees for multiple rides, making it a more economical choice for extended stays or exploring multiple attractions.
Planning Your Car Rental Experience
To ensure a smooth car rental experience in Cincinnati, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider booking your rental car in advance. This allows you to secure the best rates and ensures that the vehicle you desire is available upon your arrival.
Next, familiarize yourself with the rental policies. Understanding the terms, conditions, and any potential fees will help you avoid surprises. Additionally, pay attention to fuel policies; some agencies require you to return the vehicle with a full tank, while others may provide a full-to-empty option.
Lastly, inspect the car before driving off the lot. Check for any existing damage and ensure that everything is in working order. This precaution protects you from potential charges for pre-existing issues.
Conclusion: Your Cincinnati Adventure Awaits
Renting a car in Cincinnati opens the door to a world of exploration and adventure. With the freedom to set your own schedule, visit must-see attractions, and enjoy seamless transportation for special events, the possibilities are endless. Whether you opt for a compact car, a luxury vehicle, or a spacious SUV, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the city on your own terms.
From the stunning landscapes along the Ohio River to the vibrant neighborhoods filled with culture and history, Cincinnati is a city waiting to be discovered. So, buckle up, hit the road, and create unforgettable memories in the heart of the Midwest. Your Cincinnati adventure truly begins with the choice to rent a car and explore the city your way.

Living Liberty Today with Charlie Earl
The Circle
Generations of Western young people have searched for their purposes or identities. Some are fortunate and pick their life’s path and meaning at an early age while others stagger aimlessly for a few years hoping for a lightening bolt of clarity. Sadly, some will never have an epiphany and will live out their earthly lives feeling unfulfilled and underappreciated. A few will follow their stars until at last their hourglasses have run out. I wonder…are those star gazers delusional, imaginative, determined, or merely weird?
That’s life, isn’t it? A few people break through and discover fulfillment, satisfaction, and success while the remainder wallow in desperation for seven or eight decades. My life has roamed in the middle of the two extremes. I began my work history in the civil engineering field, moved on to home remodeling sales followed by a gig as a traveling salesperson for a gift shop supplier. My next route led me to a professional cow milker (a skill learned from my father) as I completed my undergrad in English and Communications. While in grad school at the University of Virginia, I began my love affair with commercial radio in Charlottesville before moving back to Ohio to serve as the ‘Farm Director’ for the two Findlay stations.
A radio station owner recruited me to manage his station in Ottawa, Ohio, and eventually with a group of friends and investors purchased that station plus one in Upper Sandusky. While in Ottawa, a vacancy occurred in the Ohio General Assembly (the legislature), and I filled that slot. I soon discovered that the legislative process was not for me. Much too slow with unprincipled compromise. So, I didn’t run again but chose to go to Bowling Green State University to pursue further graduate education and became News Director and General Manager at a small (very) market television station.  Bottom line: I explored a lot of careers during my life. For the entirety of my 78 years, I’ve been insatiably curious and impatient. After running for two statewide political offices, I finally spent the last few years as  a college teacher, I managed to channel my impatience into 15-week segments.
The event that triggered this reflective piece was the death of my younger brother last weekend. As I thought about our lives together along with our sister, I wondered if my lifelong journey shortchanged the people that I love. Did my grasping for the new or exciting challenge drive me to be insensitive to the needs and desires of those around me? Was my life track merely a way of avoiding connection and commitment? Fortunately, there is one connection- a vital one- that I’ve been able to strengthen in recent years. The Cross is my Salvation, and the Empty Tomb is my Hope. My steadfastness in reading the Word and seeking to follow Jesus Christ while listening for the Holy Spirit has silenced my wanderlust and brought me peace.
Thank God Almighty for the unearned gift of grace. Amen. Truth has no context.

In defense of the Cincinnati streetcar:
- Unlike the others, it isn’t trying to be an actual area transit train. It goes from the baseball and football stadiums on 2nd Street up to Findlay Market 20 blocks north, and then comes straight back.
- It’s free.
- It has stops within a few blocks of almost all the places you will go in Downtown and Over-the-Rhine.
- Since it has stops near all three stadiums (FCC is a couple blocks west of Music Hall/Washington Park), it’s an easy way to park somewhere cheaper than the on-site stadium parking.
- It *really* pisses off the correct people in the Cincinnati political scene.

WF UPDATE (5/17/24)
RAINY DAY
Today I learned that Dayton is just like everywhere else in America. The weather person is almost always wrong. Instead of the predicted sunshine, we got hit by rain. In my next life, I’m coming back as a weatherman. I never had a job where I could be wrong most of the time.
Instead of biking on our last day in Dayton, we toured by car. We didn’t let the rain get us down. We had fun anyway.
Our primary goal was to visit the Findlay Market in Cincinnati. It started in 1852. It features about 50 vendors that sell all sorts of food products. Based upon two minutes of online research, it looked like a small version of Reading Market Terminal in Philly, or Pike Place Market in Seattle, or Quincy Market in Boston. We’ve had fun visiting those places. If it was a sunny day, we never would have gone the 50 miles to visit Findlay Market.
On the way to Findlay Market, we got distracted by Jungle Jim’s International Market. It’s about 10 miles outside of Cincinnati. Jim’s story is amazing. In 1970, after selling vegetables from a truck, he set up a little farm stand. By 1974, he was ready to expand. On a bigger lot, he built a roof that covered 4,200 square feet. That’s not all that big (roughly 65 ft. X 65 ft.), but it was a big move in the right direction. Jungle Jim’s place became legendary and it grew enormously. The location we visited today is over 300,000 square feet. (There’s a smaller second location, closer the Cincinnati, that’s 200,000 square feet.) At a quick pace, it took us almost 3 hours to walk through the place. They have food from all over the world, and it’s arranged by country. We saw stuff from at least 50 countries. It’s not a market that I expected to see in Ohio. We had a blast.
We got to Findlay Market in time for a very late lunch. Then, we explored the Market itself and the surrounding streets. It’s smaller, and less interesting, than the other public markets that we’ve visited. It was fun anyway.
Here are a few lessons from today:
1. Never trust a weather person.
2. Never let the weather get you down.
3. Don’t be afraid to make unscheduled stops. We thought that the Findlay Market would be the best stop of the day. We were surprised by Jungle Jim’s International Market. It turned out to be the best stop of the day.
Thanks for joining us on this trip. We head home tomorrow. The next few weeks will be very, very busy. I’ll try to find time to write. Stay tuned.

"STILL SHINES THROUGH"
by Max Sansing
Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Max Sansing was involved with several graffiti crews before pursuing formal art training. Sansing is now one of the city's most prolific artists, working both in the studio and on walls. In Cincinnati for the 2022 BLINK festival Max added this splash of color in the rapidly transforming Findlay Market neighborhood. "In speaking with locals about the area, I put together a vision that would feature the youth of the community looking towards the future of it throughout the growth and change," Sansing says about the piece.
