Weāve been watching Ahsoka and are enjoying the show very much. Itās hard waiting for new seasons to return, it seems to take so long. I see Loki will be returning and weāll watch that too.
-
While I am bummed tomorrow is the last episode, I can't wait to see how they end this season. I've no doubt it'll be a cliff hanger, but I can't help but think it's gonna be tough to beat the past few episodes.

ELMIRA - According to Elmira Police, three juveniles were arrested today on robbery charges after a two day investigation. Police say on Monday night around 10:50 PM, police responded to the area of Perine Street on the city's south side for a report of a man on the ground being assaulted by three individuals. When officers arrived and located the victim, they found that he needed medical attention and had him transported to a local hospital. There, the victim was found to have a broken arm and several bruised ribs. During the assault, several personal items were stolen from the victim. Today investigators looked into the incident further and later responded to an address on Fulton Street, the home of one of the suspects the victim had identified. however when police arrived, the suspect and several others inside with them barricaded themselves inside. Police attempted to communicate with those inside by loud speaker. A search warrant was obtained as officers continued their attempts to communicate with the occupants, unsuccessfully, for nearly two hours. members of the elmira Police SWAT team were assembled and made entry into the residence. Several were taken into custody, among them three juveniles responsible for the robbery the night before. Police say that two of these individuals had been reported missing by their parents and had been away from home for several weeks. A search of the residence resulted in the stolen items being recovered. As a result of this investigation, three juveniles, a sixteen year old, a seventeen year old, and a fourteen year old were charged with Robbery in the First Degree, a Class B Felony. The Elmira Police Department was assisted by the New York State Police and the Chemung County Sheriff's Office in the investigation.

ELMIRA.- Early this morning a local sticker shop business known as 420 Novelties was raided by Elmira Police as well as state officials. Elmira Police Department, New York State Police, as well as the New York State Office of Cannabis Management were at the businessās two locations, one on West Water Street and the other on Pennsylvania Avenue in Elmira. Both locations were shut down and a notice placed on the window that indicates the business was ordered to stop illegal activity and that illicit cannabis product had been seized. In addition to the two store locations, police also raided the home of the businessās owner, listed as Christopher McKinkle of Elmira. However police have released no details about what they were looking for or any charges pressed against him. These raids are one of many similar raids by the state throughout the area of so called āsticker shops.ā Sticker shops are retail locations that have been skirting New York State laws by selling items such as stickers and then āgiftingā a corresponding amount of marijuana. However the state sees them as undermining attempts to this relatively new industry. āAs New York State continues to roll out a nation-leading model to establish its cannabis industry, these critical enforcement measures will protect New Yorkers from illicit, unregulated sales,ā Governor Hochul said back in May. āUnlicensed dispensaries violate our laws, put public health at risk, and undermine the legal cannabis market.

Are we contented yet? Itās just an accumulation of trinkets and stuff, an assemblage that needs to be fed every so often. I should know, because I have my own collections from the past. But, in the long run, none of it will go with us when lifeās earthly journey comes to an end. We should be content with what we have and who we areā¦ not seeking to satisfy our appetite with more of everything life has to offer. Be at peace, rest in who we are meant to beā¦ donāt compare or judge ourselves to others. In contemplating that accumulation, Iām reminded of a song by the rock group U2 from their Joshua Tree album ā āBut I still havenāt found what Iām looking forā¦ā A fitting comment to an endless search for just the right thing. Theodore Roosevelt was even noted to say, āComparison is the thief of joy.ā How truthful and fitting both sentiments are for all of us at times! So, what is contentment? How do we find it? And when is enoughā¦ enough? The dictionary on my desk tells me contentment is where the heart is atā¦ perhaps rested and satisfied, at peace, with a quiet and calm joy. Contentment is an attitude of the heartā¦ being thankful and grateful for what we do have, serving others out of a joyful appreciation. Because, believe me, contentment is not found in eyeing what someone else hasā¦ of being jealous or envious of whatās on their plateā¦ as if we didnāt have enough to take care of on our own. In Philippians 4:11, the Apostle Paul wrote āā¦for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.ā Hmmā¦ so how could he say that with all the many difficulties, beatings, persecutions, opposition to his preaching, false accusations, weariness, hunger, imprisonments and more that he faced? Thereās an old hymn Iāve loved since childhood, coming to treasure the words even more after our daughter, Jennifer, died. Horatio G. Spafford wrote a poem put to music after he and his wife lost their 2-year-old son, their property in the 1871 Great Chicago fire, suffered further economic losses in 1873, and then lost their remaining four daughters at sea - āWhen peace like a river, attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows roll. Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soulā¦ā ā¦well-known words of comfort. Having three more children, losing a second son at age 4 in 1880, he resettled in Jerusalem with his wife and two daughters. There, he founded the American Colony, a Christian group providing humanitarian relief to the disadvantaged of any faith. Heād learned the secret to contentment. The Apostle Paul, writing to a dear young friend, stated in I Timothy 6:6-7: āBut godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.ā Donāt get me wrongā¦ itās not about denying ourselves the ability to succeed in our careers or home life and to have nice things. Instead, itās all about the depth of our heart, our faith, our attitudeā¦ the intangiblesā¦ the spiritual treasures. Life really isnāt about gathering as much stuff as we can hoard for ourselves. Life was never meant to be like that old saying attributed to Malcolm Forbes, āHe who dies with the most toys wins.ā Itās not about God ensuring that we have a wealthy and happy life. Itās not His plan to make us ārich and famousā in a life of ease without pain. Instead, contentment is a learning processā¦ learning to be who God intends us to beā¦ learning to be gracious and loving when our life is full of pain, disappointments, illness and setbacks. And, in learning to give thanks and appreciate what we do have, we find ourselves gladly serving others around us with a heart of joy and peaceā¦ as contentment flows from our soul. Contentment Flows Linda A. Roorda Contentment flows from the soul at peace Not easily grasped though deeply pondered How quick am I to follow my will While yielding to trust finds Your truth with graceā¦ ~ Grace to understand blessings of mercy In wending my way through waves of turmoil Seeking shelter from storms that threaten As Your calming spirit brings showers of peaceā¦ ~ Peace that envelopes my very being From the depth of stress that oft overwhelms Which tugs and strains the restful repose To humility meek with a heart of joyā¦ ~ Joy that shines bright in the face of woe Amidst the sadness of sorrowās dark tears As rays of hope through shutters burst forth To flood my soul with serenityās restā¦ ~ Serenityās rest within the worldās din Marks peace of mind when focused on You Grant me, I pray, a heart full of love One filled with thanks as contentment flowsā¦ ~~

With school either having started for some, or about to start for others, I pondered the realization that thereās so much I thought I knew when younger, but really didnātā¦ for education isnāt only that which is gained in a classroom. Over the years, Iāve learned I canāt turn the clock back to undo or redo whatās been done. Life doesnāt have a rewind button for our editing... so we inevitably move forward in a relentless flow of time. And in that flow, learning becomes an emotional and spiritual educational process as disappointments and suffering soften our hearts amidst the joys. This is how we mature and become wiser. In the process, we learn that we may not get that second chance. Make amends nowā¦ apologize, forgive and move forward. Love one anotherā¦ and let the other know it. I have searched for and regained friends from years agoā¦ friends Iād lost when moving away, friends lost when my childish words took their toll, and to whom Iāve given heart-felt apologies. I cannot undo, but I can atone for and correct my wrongs. Walk away from sinā¦ donāt let it overtake you with its tempting appeal. The great Ten Commandments really do have something to say to us today. Stop blaming someone else. Donāt condone or excuse the habit of lying, concealing your wrongs to protect yourself. Even if no one else is the wiser, God knows. Own it, confess it, and make amends. Others do take notice of what we doā¦ do it well, for a good name is much to be treasured. Love, listen, take advice gladly, and learnā¦ you wonāt go wrong. āBe very careful, then, how you liveā¦ making the most of every opportunityā¦ā (Ephesians 4:15-16) As we look back, we often wish we knew then what we know now. Wouldnāt such knowledge have saved us a whole basket of trouble?! But, did we hear, did we listen, did we truly heed the advice given as we grew up? Iām afraid I didnāt always do so. I thought I āknew it allā in my teens. It took time as life traversed a variety of circumstances unique to my needs to gain understanding and knowledge with wisdom from God. And from the realization of my own errant ways and words, I apologized and made amendsā¦ because the Lord has done so much more for me. For the loving Father that He is, God took the time to teach me all through the years. Because I was often not listening to wiser words in my youth, I now treasure the wisdom of others as I sit at their feet to learn, and recall fragmented words of wisdom expressed years ago. Blessed with Godly wisdom, Solomon wrote in Proverbs 2:1-6: āMy son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.ā And vs. 9 adds, āThen you will understand what is right and just and fair ā every good path.ā Oh, how true! If onlyā¦ that age-old phrase we all quote... if only I knew then what I know now. So, let me take what the Lord has taught me through the difficult struggles to reach a satisfied contentmentā¦ through tears of deep sorrow to tears of great joy with laughterās healing touch. And may we use the blessings Heās bestowed upon our hearts to reach out in love with something weāve learnedā¦ Something Iāve Learned Linda A. Roorda ~ Something Iāve learned since I was youngā¦ If I knew then what I do know now Iād have been spared lifeās toughest lessons. But, then again, how else would I learn? ~ Something Iāve learned came slowly with timeā¦ For I wanted life to move fast forward And in wanting more, I just needed less As contentment dwells in lifeās simplest gifts. ~ Something Iāve learned by looking backwardā¦ That in facing life I thought I knew all, But looking forward from slow motion days Impatience revealed an unsettled heart. ~ Something Iāve learned wishing Iād discernedā¦ By heeding then the sageās wisdom Whoād lived and seen what I could not fathom For experience marks the role of teacher. ~ Something Iāve learned is not easy to sayā¦ That which I rue when youth went its way As lessons learned brought maturityās wealth With understanding through wisdomās trained eye. ~ Something Iāve learned by climbing the hillā¦ Conquering hurdles that hindered my path, For stones that seemed like unmoving boulders, Were mere stumbling blocks to peace found in You. ~ Something Iāve learned I treasure now moreā¦ My faith in You, Lord, once taken for granted Its value gained from bumps in the road Which led me to where I stand on Your Word. ~ Something Iāve learned we all have to faceā¦ Sorrow and loss have taught to accept That which was healed as my heart grew wise For only from pain can compassion speak. ~ Something Iāve learned about all my stuffā¦ I canāt take it there on the day that I leave Much better by far to share with you now Showing my love in tangible ways. ~ Something Iāve learned that when the door shutsā¦ Reasons there are for not looking back. Express regret for whatās done is done Then welcome the door He flings open wide. ~ Something Iāve learned with You at my sideā¦ To share the bounty of blessings divine To gently speak with a tender voice And to hear with love from a generous heart.

This is an amazing undertaking, though I'm sure when she started she never thought that some day it could be digitized and shared worldwide. I recall watching that 9/11 tribute concert, where Hilary Clinton came out and was boo'd. That never made it to the recorded version, I don't believe. I had the 2 tape VHS version but never did watch it to confirm. I'm sure the footage from 9/11 would be an interesting thing to watch. If memory serves me right, it was one of those, "We're not sure what's happening but we're gonna report it as it happens" kind of days.

I got an answer about the FQHC center from a very good source this afternoon, and it is still happening. Very good news!

The leaves generally start to fade about this time of year, but some of them seem to be turning earlier than usual. I noticed this particularly up along the lake. We could very well have a cold, snowy one.

Stokes' recordings has launched a movie project: You can find out more about the film, "Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project" here. You can access the Internet Archive of her collection ( so far ) here. What from Stokes' collection would you be interested in seeing? Have you encountered news footage related to a historical event years later and think, "Wait, I don't remember it happening like that."

Find them on Facebook here. For the third or fourth time we've had Superclean come to do a good cleaning of our carpets. Again, I can't say enough good about them This business is locally owned and operated. Ryan and his crew always manage to breathe new life into our floors, getting out the majority of stains from dogs, food spills, and just normal traffic wear. Their communication is excellent. You'll know when they're on their way and they have always arrived on time. Every time I consider pulling up the carpet and buying new, I give these guys a call first. Their rates are very reasonable as well, certainly far cheaper than a new carpet! Next time you want your carpets to be cleaned, don't bother renting one of those steam cleaners in the stores. Call Superclean and let them do it.

This is what bothers me more than anything..... For all the public incidents we have seen with all three (McConnell, Feinstein and Biden), one has to assume there are many more happening that aren't reported.
