Littlemouse Vision Quest

I have been busy bringing together over twenty-years of website work back to life.

Some of my readers might remember me, since I began communication right here.

The new website that I am building is a challenge. No longer working off my Mac so, I can stop that mantra in my head. You know the one: Go left not right - click once not twice.

Creekside News Journal (CNj)

Some of you might be wondering, What is with the Word for the Day? 
I find myself surrounded by individuals that just seem to be lacking in the proper perspective on behavior, history and law. 

So, call it mentoring to a larger audience. It allows me the opportunity to utilize a formidable education for the greater good. 

Now, have a very good month. I have a lot of web work to put together.

Littlemouse's Vision Quest journey

1. Gathering together all the locations I have utilized over the past twenty-years.
2. Word for Day is in draft for the moment.
3. Sized a masthead to fit Creekside News Journal's RSS feed and published the first short article for a local news item hosted at the Creekside News Journal (CNj).
4. And the final assignment is to gather facts together after receiving replies to a long list of FOIAs in order to write short articles regarding local governments. One fact that is clear, government needs to be transparent and reporters need to write What is transparent. Well, let's see how long it takes to sort through a tangled mess of mis-information provided by Pandemic isolation and many, many ZOOM meetings. 

It has become difficult to compete with little social groups of people that pass a story around and then utilizes a social media location where more isolated individuals grab a hold of the misinformation and add more little stitches to the story and what one is left with is the worst Quilt ever. The grandmothers should be appalled at this sloppiness. Who knows; was this what developed the Crazy Quilt?

Word for the Day: Special Meeting

Word for the Day: Special Meeting

In Arkansas; the government official calling a special meeting shall notify the newspapers, radio stations, television stations and anyone that has requested to be notified. Notification shall be made at least two (2) hours before the meeting takes place in order that the public shall have representatives at the meeting. The time and location for the meeting will be announced.

A special meeting is a topic meeting. 

The reason for the meeting is to be announced by the official calling for the meeting.

A quorum must be a known factor by the official calling the meeting.

No other topics are discussed and public comments remain on the specific topic.

Word for the Day: Executive Session

Word for the Day

Arkansas Open Meeting Laws state:

Eureka Springs, Ark.

Don't know, yet.

I did get into an old account and working with the new layout here.

Linking to other places, like this one for the Creekside News Journal that I write.

It is election night in the U.S.A. and my local rural neighbors voted to become a town / city.

Now those carpetbaggers get to hire a dog catcher.

 

Wonder if they can hire a game warden that will break all the wildlife laws and come take out the elk, deer, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes and wolves? The wild boars generally get the Governor to allow the police department to take them out.

Too, soon for this sad story. CNj will become more active again.  

There is this one where I try to add to the global subjects and show items that I am letting-go; not the steward anymore. Pinterest - a place for pictures with links to articles that interest me or my personal estate items that are For Sale.

I can do that with a blog.

Idle Time Waiting

A cold Artic Blast evening waiting to see if any weather reports are correct for my area.

Dinner is in the oven since there is time to enjoy power.

Chili is in the crockpot in case I need it prepared for a heat up on the woodstove.

Good time to "Be Prepared."

And if the power stays on then all the more reports that can be written and uploaded.

Creekside News Journal™ has a new location.

Headed to LinkedIn next  and then Littlemouse Vision Quest.™ 

Guess I will utilize the stormchasers I watch on my Twitter account. If you have an account then check out my Weather List and keep an eye on those stormchasers. They are out there for more than just hurricanes and tornadoes.
