We walked to Canada on the Blue Water Bridge for a similar type of event. These opportunities are so spectacular.

But how are we supposed to provoke the poors into food riots that give us a pretext for declaring martial law if we don't cut off their SNAP benefits? - the current administration, probably

The year limped on with a malign heart, never quite letting go of its fever. Even as it moved towards the inevitably of ice and long hours of darkness, the village sweated out visions. Evening chatter in both pubs was filled with augury. Ghosts gathered. - #CLNolan, The Growling of the Land, 1912

Parma is doing a better job of repairing its bad decisions from the past 20 years. But, I have voted no, I don't feel good about it. I wish the public schools would unite & fight our state government to better-fund all of them so local residents don't have this dilemma.

This #ReliefWednesday we celebrate Hecate, the goddess of the crossroads and transitions.

This is a votive relief to Hecate and the inscription warns against defacement of the place where the relief was located. Presumably the relief was originally located in a sanctuary to the goddess.

Description from the Kunsthistorisches Museum: “As guardian of places of transition, statues were erected in her honor, often depicting her with a tripartite body, which could multiply her power. This is also how she is portrayed here in the relief: above the lower body with its long, folded garment, the multiple forms are clearly visible: a total of six arms and three (now partially damaged) heads can be discerned.“
