"'People have differences, and you can't legislate morality.  You can try, but you can't do it' ...."

I see an inconsistency there.

***To Waite House for NAPS (Nutritional Assistance for Seniors) food.

And for the twice-monthly produce distribution.  Abundant apples, radishes, and cabbage available.

***Southeast Como neighborhood organization Annual Meeting at Van Cleve Park.  Attendance was light.  And only three or four were college age, in a neighborhood where 52 percent of the population is 18 to 24.

In fiction, political meetings are usually exciting.  In real life?  File that trope with "War is fun."

***Comments from: Bonnie Randall Schutzman 11/13: "I think in images and sounds, but there's also usually a word-based narrative going on."

Carole Zastera Michels 11/13  "Words for me. I asked a friend in Germany which language he thought in, and he said he didn't think in a language."

Carol Kennedy 11/13  "In something like patterns, but as I have said before, if one doesn't think in words, it's very hard to describe in words how one thinks!"

John Shannonhouse 11/13 "I think in processes."

bubbleblower, 11/13 "I sometimes think in words, and sometimes in pictures.  The pictures are sometimes electronic schematics or other diagrams, and sometimes move (that includes animated diagrams).
 
"I may occasionally think in other modes, but not often."

Dreamshark, 11/13 "Words, mostly."

stardreamer, 11/13 "I think in words, unless I'm specifically trying to visualize something.  This is also one of the reasons I can't read and carry on a conversation at the same time; I 'hear' the words in my head when I'm reading, and they compete for the aural-processing channel."
