God’s Poem Writer
Bumped into Harold J. Arnold, a.k.a. God’s Poem Writer.
His poems deal with a severe subject, but he, the writer, is a pleasure to encounter.
wheelbarrow of life
My sister was a faithful reader of this page. So last time I had a wheelbarrow picture it
was titled “Our Father’s Wheelbarrow”.
Our father was not mechanical. He couldn’t fix a broken lawn mower. But he was Saint Francis

Vernon Rudolph started making doughnuts in Old Salem (Winston-Salem) NC, in the summer of 1937.

or Dan Aykroyd or Ghostbusters make from the deal.
Dan Aykroyd conceived of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man for his initial script for Ghostbusters

the right circumstances, everything can be turned back and become evil”–Wikipedia
Clear Width
The sidewalk on the east side of Meade Avenue is a five foot sidewalk but there are 19 obstructions to users of
that sidewalk between Meade Park and Meade Avenue’s intersection with High Street.
The sidewalk’s minimum width is 29”. The average obstructed width is 39”.
hot now
Learned about the “hot light” in Raleigh, NC. Krispy Kreme fires up a “hot now” neon light when they birth a new batch of their glazed doughnuts. Natch, they have an app.
