There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third.

Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station
Fire Station 37 is located near Lincoln & Curtner and serves the south area of the Willow Glen community and the north area of the Cambrian community.
The new building is an 8,100 square foot two-story, single-fire company station that contains 2 apparatus bays, separate crew and captain’s offices, an open kitchen, dining & living room, exercise room, and 5 two-bed capacity dormitories with private restrooms.
The City’s new standards of Zero Net Carbon totally eliminate the use of natural gas. There are 82 Photovoltaic Panels generating a total of 25kW in solar power.
The project is said to have been completed on schedule and within the approved $8.8 million budget (after acquiring the city parkland it now stands on).

The polar bears are waiting for well-done.
Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery, go.

Consternation
One night, I dreamed I had made a pact with the devil for my soul.
I gave him my violin to see if he could play.
How great was my astonishment on hearing a sonata so wonderful and so beautiful, played with such great art and intelligence, as I had never even conceived in my boldest flights of fantasy.
I felt enraptured, transported, enchanted: my breath failed me, and I awoke.
–Tartini’s Dream by Louis-Léopold Boilly (1824)

Deliberate
Be not merciful unto them that offend of malicious wickedness. They grin like a dog and run about through the city. But thou, O Lord, shalt have them in derision. Thou shalt laugh all the heathen to scorn.
–Psalm 59
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

Going
Non-stop flight from London to San Francisco shows up as a curve on a Mercator Projection map of the Northern Hemisphere. The trip takes 11 hours at 36,000 feet altitude in the cramped fuselage of the Boing 777 jet airliner traveling up to 590 mph.
Return flight over Greenland across Hudson Bay into Manitoba, exposed scenes of boundless, deathly, frozen landscape.
