The wheel is driven or forced by means of its engine or motor. The energy is not in the wheel which is passive to this driving agent. So it is with every manifestation of energy; and with every human motivation – it has its human impulse or impelling motive to impart motion.

“In the face of the danger which confronts our time, no individual retains, or can hope to retain, the right of personal choice which free men enjoy in times of peace.” –FDR (1940)

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 building was designed by IBI-Group Architects, and constructed by Gonsalves & Stronck Construction Company.
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).

He learnt to communicate with birds and discovered that their conversation was fantastically boring. It was all to do with wind speed, wingspans, power-to-weight ratios, and a fair bit about berries.

Tranquility
Silence is like a river of grace inviting us to leap unafraid into its beckoning depths. It is dark & mysterious in the waters of grace. Yet in the silent darkness we are given new eyes. Sometimes it is good to leap into the unknown; good to practice leaping.

I, myself, have killed 6 people. All random, no way to trace them to me. Let me tell you, there’s nothin’ like it. It’s a great feeling. Yeah, I know, you’re thinking, Aw, he’s a comedian. He’s just sayin’ that stuff. Good. That’s exactly what I want you to think.

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.

Long ago, during the last age of reason, certain proud thinkers had claimed that valid knowledge was indestructible – that ideas were deathless and truth immortal.
But that was true only in the subtlest sense, and not superficially true at all.
There was objective meaning in the world, to be sure: the non-moral logos or design of the Creator; but such meanings were God’s and not Man’s, until they found an imperfect incarnation, a dark reflection, within the mind & speech & culture of a given human society, which might ascribe values to the meanings so that they became valid in a human sense within the culture.
