Odds and Ends passing through My Facebook (#2)

Posted: 22 Oct 14
Update #2:  24 Oct 14

This is to share some things I thought you might enjoy -- and to conduct an experiment.  There are six items, below, so far.  I expect to keep adding here, until I discover how many additions one blog-post can handle before it become too unwieldy to add any more.

This also keeps the accumulation of "odds and ends" handy, while I sort out better ways to deliver this information to you.  Like most things, what I learn here will transfer to other parts of the Civic Mentor project to help advance the whole thing.  I am seeking methods, in light of fast-changing technology and human conditions.  (I couldn't justify diverting so much energy to this aspect of life, at this particular moment, otherwise)

Now, here's a statement which rings with truth and offers us, I believe, a seed worth planting and nurturing -- deep down in the foundations of our views on the meaning and opportunity-costs of the death-event -- where it can influence how we approach and handle the second most profound aspect of our existence.  I love this post and thank you for it, Val!

When you're building something new, there are often on-the-job accidents and injuries. As long as the ultimate structure is satisfactory, the mishaps can count as a vindicated part of the training and construction costs.
