county fairs and such.".
I talked to a lot of other people at the Wayne County Fair but will end
my typing of both fairs with some typing of the Ashland County Fair.
Most of the people I talked to were locals, living there in Ashland County
for most of their lives.
I had not seen the pigs at the fair in Wooster (Wayne County Fair) because
they were showing them at the time I looked and also could not find
pictures of flowers that people entered into the competition for a blue
ribbon.
I did find the pigs (they are labeled Swine on their building and I don't
like that word because it seems so demeaning) most of who were
sleeping. Pigs do not have 4 stomachs because their main food is not
grass .... but from reference.com .... "domesticated farm and pet pigs
are raised on a diet of feed, fruits and vegetables."
I finally found the flower building which I learned is the hobby building.
Most of the photographs were pictures of people and other things and
not of flowers.
The woman who was in charge of this building was amazing. I believe she
had a job in the local school system and besides talking to me, she talked
to a lot of other people about her volunteering to set up events and gave to
them times and dates of those events. It seemed liked she was responsible
for setting up events for the whole county of Ashland and I left with with
thinking that the world be a much better place if we had more people
like her.
Ryan and I left the fair at about 6:00 PM in order, because of my cataracts
and Glaucoma, to get back to the house before dark.
I, like Ryan, who will always be a kid because of his mental handicap,
like the fairs and other events, because of the still remaining kid in me.
POLITICS
The first presidential debate is scheduled for tonight with Lester Holt as
moderator. The latest poll results are Hillary Clinton with 46% and Donald
Trump with 44%. Hillary Clinton has a lot of experience in debating but
Donald Trump has only the experience of the Republican candidates debate.
I won't be watching because it will almost be my bed time and don't like
watching TV any whey like I told you all before.
I will be able to read the results tomorrow morning and that is good enough
for me.
Wikinews
Wikinews interviews economist again running for president....
"In August, economist Laurence Kotlikoff, a Boston University professor
and former senior economist of President Ronald Reagan's Council of
Economic Advisers, secured ballot access for his unconventional
presidential campaign in Louisiana and Colorado. In addition, he
plans to obtain write-in status in 41 more states. Wikinews reached
out to Kotlikoff to discuss his campaign.
Kotlikoff announced his candidacy last May. He named Edward E.
Leamer, a professor of economics at UCLA, as his running mate.
This is not Kotlikoff's first run for the presidency. In 2012, he sought
the presidential nomination of Americans Elect, which ultimately
did not field a candidate. He also briefly sought the Reform Party
presidential nomination that year. During his first run, Kotlikoff
spoke with Wikinews in an interview similar to the one below. In
that campaign, Kotlikoff promoted the purple plan, which combined
liberal and conservative economic ideas. Today, he boasts a 157 page
campaign platform that reportedly took him three months to write.
Some of the ideas contained in the platform include the elimination
of income taxes, privatization of health care, as well as support for
same-sex marriage, drug legalization, and increases in the federal
inheritance tax.
With Wikinews, Kotlikoff discusses the prospect of his candidacy, the
differences between this run and his previous run, and why voters
should vote for him over the other candidates.
What do you hope to achieve by running for president?
Kotlikoff: There are only three people that can legally and realistically
be elected President in November. I'm one of the three. Write-in
candidates need to be registered across all the very large number of
states across the country that require registration. If you don't register,
your votes aren't counted. I am, to my knowledge, the only nationally
registered and therefore the only real write-in candidate in the country.
I am running to win the election. I'm not running to influence policy. I'm
running to make policy — the right policy in conjunction with both
parties with whom I have very good relations. The two candidates will
not adopt what needs to be done because what needs to be done to fix
the country is not PC [politically correct] with the extreme elements
of their parties. I am running to fix America. I and the vast majority of
other economists in this country recognize our country is fiscally broke
(because the vast majority of our debts have been kept off the books),
that it needs a brand new, single, efficient, publicly financed, privately
managed basic healthcare plan for all Americans, that Social Security
is totally broke and needs to be fundamentally reformed, that the tax
system is a terrible mess that lets the super rich pay nothing or next to
nothing and that it too needs to be fixed from scratch, and that the
banking system needs to [be] reformed for real (not for fake as in the
case of Dodd–Frank). I also have very clear views on foreign policy,
climate policy, immigration policy, and education policy. In these
areas, as in all other areas, the history of policy has been to impose
ever greater fiscal burdens, ever worsening economic conditions,
and ever greater national security risk. My campaign's theme is "It's
Our Children." I'm running to provide the American public the truth
about our domestic and foreign challenges and provide a new New
Deal, which will transform the country for the better in virtually all
dimensions. Unlike Trump and Clinton, I have very clear and simple
(postcard length) solutions for fixing our myriad problems. They are
not my solutions alone. They are really consensus solutions of
economists in general. I think it's time to introduce technical expertise
in managing our country's future.
(does this) differ from your 2012 run?
Kotlikoff: In 2012, I ran on the third-party platform, Americans Elect.
That platform/party folded in May 2012 because it ran out of money.
That's when my campaign ended, actually, was forcibly ended.
Four years on, our country's economy is in many ways in far worse
shape. Our fiscal gap (the real measure of our country's indebtedness)
is dramatically larger. Our planet's climate is closer to reaching a
tipping point. Our Social Security system is in far worse financial
shape. Our healthcare system is covering more people. But it's a
potpourri of programs that collectively are driving us broke and
being run as inefficiently as possible. The pressure on jobs and
wages from immigrants, foreign workers, and smart machines is
greater. Education has not improved. Real average take home pay
has remained flat. Millions of workers have given up finding jobs.
North Korea has miniaturized nuclear warheads and is testing land
and submarine-based ballistic missiles. Iran is testing long-range
missiles that can carry warheads purchased from North Korea, and
the list goes on.
In sum, I think the challenges our nation faces are far graver, and
that the parties are force-feeding us two candidates who have
articulated no real/novel/convincing solutions for any of these
challenges....
Why should voters support you over the major party candidates
and other third party or independent candidates?
Kotlikoff: Johnson and Stein are too extreme to be elected. Clinton
and Trump were each chosen by 14 percent of the voters. A majority
of the population strongly dislike Clinton and Trump. They are not
the same set of majorities. My sense is that over one third of the
voters strongly dislike both candidates and over half are not eager
to see either elected as President. Each voter has an incredible
megaphone thanks to their access to social media. They can, even
at this date, make their votes really count by forming groups of 10
people to vote for me as a collective enterprise and to start email
chain letters to spread the word of my campaign. I have received
very significant national media coverage. More is coming. I've been
featured on radios in hundreds of cities and their surroundings
across the country. I have a small army of volunteers and more
joining every day. It's as easy to vote for me as it is to vote for either
of them. One just has to write Laurence Kotlikoff for President and
Edward Leamer for Vice President on the ballot instead of checking
off a name that was embossed by a printer. The political situation is
extremely unstable. One tweet by, say, Justin Bieber, to his tens of
millions of followers could make me a household name. Similar
things can flip this election. Stand by."

Pangolin: The most trafficked mammal in the world
26 September 2016 Last updated at 00:08 BST
"The little-known pangolin is the most trafficked mammal in the world,
leading to fears it could become extinct. A meeting of the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) being held in South
Africa this week could make trade in pangolin illegal."
savepangolins.org/what-is-a-pangolin/
"Four species are found in Africa south of the Sahara Desert: the Cape or
ground pangolin, the tree pangolin, the giant pangolin, and the long-tailed
pangolin. The four Asian pangolins are distinguished from the African
species by the presence of bristles which emerge from between the scales."
THE ROAD TO MY GRANDPARENTS CLINE....
will begin again tomorrow.
MOTHER AND OR FATHER
I lost my Facebook page yesterday and after trying to log in by all of
the means I knew about I decided to start a new one. The result was that
I had only one friend who has been my best friend all my life.
She was my Mother and, although, we are in different places now, she in
Heaven and I'm still here on earth, we will remain friends forever.
I later found out how to get my original Facebook account back and I
still keep the new one because of my dear friend, my Mother.
IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
I intended to go to Ace Hardware yesterday to 3 bags of top soil to cover
the grass seeded bare parts of the yard that I talked about yesterday.
However I left the car keys on in the car and when I tried to start the car
the motor did not even turn over. This has happened before, 3 or 4
times in Las Vegas and for the 3rd time here. The only good part of this
happening is that a car thief would have a hard time stealing Mother's
1986 Honda Accord.
It took about 4 to 5 hours for the battery charger to charge the battery,
so I spent most of the day digging up clumps of wire weed, grass seeding
the the hole, covering with good soil and then watering them. I'm also am
continuing to landscape the yard just back of the deck with grass sod and dirt.
I should have a chance to pick up the top soil today.
