It’s raining where I am, so this seems appropriate from Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart who we know as The Eurythmics with their classic hit “Here Comes The Rain Again”.

Local Election Day in #Chattanooga Go Vote! @andyberke
Today is local election day in Chattanooga where we will be voting for mayor and city council races. Local elections can have a much greater impact on your day-to-day life. After work I will be going to the polls to vote and I will be supporting and voting for my mayor Andy Berke for re-election. He has done a good job but I think he has more to do in some areas. He is a progressive which matters most to me. So whenever you get to vote locally make a point to do so, because it matters most.
Help
Help is given to those who ask for it. Sometimes we all need a hand to hold onto. People need people. We all need somebody. Help me help you. Friendship means help.
Music Monday – Vanessa Williams – The Comfort Zone
Vanessa Williams is a former Miss America and one heck of a singer. This song “The Comfort Zone” speaks to us about being there in a place of personal pleasure and what it can do to you.
Something About Education, Transportation and Innovation
There are things that keep a community and our world moving. Education, transportation and innovation. When you fail to fund any of these three things then things come to a stand still. People need education to prepare them for the future to innovate and to solve the worlds problems.We rise and fall on the success of our students who will lead the way of the future.
Transportation leads to its own innovations and gets people to where they need to go for work among other things. I see a lot of places where those three things are bottled up in local, state and federal politics. Those three things should never be a political hot button but they are. When an entertainer gives $1 million to a local school system that tells you something.
It seems like the future of the world unfortunately is dependent on people who are making decisions that will have serious impact on the present and the future. Too bad these folks haven’t learned the lessons of the past and no road or innovation has made it possible to travel back in time so we can learn the hard lessons of generations that have come before.
Education is the most important weapon to change the world.
