DURING THE ARREST THE PEACE OFFICER WAS NOT HONEST WHEN HE WROTE THE ARREST REPORT

HE WAS DISHONEST (peace officer at RPI)
THIS IS WHAT HE WROTE

Something different than what happened.  What he really wrote down on the report implied that I was not making a friendly visit to the Public Safety Office at the college I graduated from , rather it implied I was intending to do some type of harm, and that there were threats of potential violence.

BUT what were the consequences? Years later you can find out what happened.  How did that arrest effect my life, my career, my family and my chances of ever working as an engineer after graduating from RPI with a master's degree in engineering?

Today in the news - arresting Senator of CA and comptroller of NYC

“We see time and time again with this Administration trying to precipitate a response by the misuse and the abuse of force,” Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said on the Senate floor. “This is more akin to authoritarian governments when you see a democratic nation having their Executive begin to arrest mayors, begin to arrest judges, begin to arrest a United States Senator who is simply asking for answers to their questions… This is something that we should not tolerate.”

How will the arrest effect the Senator's life, and the Comptroller's future?

Journal about Gratitude: Fear and Self-Reliance


Do we desire to work alone (isolate) , or is better to build a network of work friends to lean on.  Reaching out to build accountability, we learn to exchange ideas, expand our knowledge base and create a great team of co-workers who really can achieve success together.  

Which part of self have I been relying on that has failed me?

Getting back to basics and being totally honest with myself - things do not not always work the way I want. I have to acknowledge that I do not have total control over what happens in the future, and I have do not have total control over other people.  This is something I have to accept as truth.  

How time unfolds. Feelings, beliefs and what actions people take.

Taking time to ask get inner guidance is a constant battle in this work-a-day world.  It takes self-discipline to set aside time to reflect in a journal. To do or not to do - an honest self assessment by attempting to reach your inner self when you need guidance.  Asking for guidance and reflecting on the result by writing about the impressions you get in a journal is a common method to test your decisions and to stay in sync at work and home.  

Can I rely on myself and why not, what fears did you have?

Asking for and receiving feedback as a gift of knowledge. Working to accept criticism, in whatever form it takes.  

Define criticism: the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes rather than receiving criticism as  ______? 

All the daily decisions you make add up to a series of events that lead you from the time you wake up to the time you lay your head on the pillow.  And all those decisions really matter in every aspect of life.

Early Spring: Mid March - Late April

We are smack dab into mid June. June 13th exactly.

And Bruno decides to go crazy pruning the hedges. The kid Nate has a record, and Bruno is into music so they get along. Just released from a youth detention center, Nate ends up on our lawn. Our front lawn that is, he plans to mow it and does just that.

Comment:  I thought good, what a better way for a youth to live life, lawncare and trees. It was a new beginning for Nate.

Bruno gets the Earthwise hedge trimmer from Ollie's and Nate starts the project.  No good I said, the time of year is not right for a major hedge trim.  Always cut them in early spring and early spring in New York is mid March to late April.  

Since the two butchered the hedges, stepped all over my flowers I had to pray to the source. I knew it was coming, I spent too much time planting that garden and it was destined for trouble.  Knowing Bruno looked angry and too hot on keeping his dismissive behaviors safe. Talking to him is out of the question and pleading even worse. The nature of the beast might enjoy the pain over a lost effort. Source concluded daisy's were better off in a vase ergo the plant regenerates new flowers anyhow.

Turn the homesteading over like a pile of compost with a shovel, I resorted to asking myself if restoring the hedges to order, would mean using the trimmings create a new hedge plant? 

My search results were "Yes, it is possible to turn twigs and branches into a plant through a process called vegetative propagation, specifically stem cuttings."

The environment is blooming and this process is best done in summer: Mid June - Late August, and that is perfect timing. Keeping the silence, knowing the damage was done _ I ran off in mid morning to study chapter 6, algebra and trigonometry.
