Alphabe-Thursday, Letter O

How does one take ordinary words and change policy?  Contact the right people?  That helps.
Create a ground roots swell of interest?  Also helpful, but requires some skill and luck.
Create a facts page so that the policy that needs an upgrade has all the right info on it...ok that takes some research....

Here's my idea: When FEMA is involved in funding for rebuilding homes, why not make sure all new home construction includes the recharging stations for electric cars?  Just like any appliance that needs special outlets/hook-ups (stoves and gas dryers), include the ability to charge an electric car. Make it easier for folks to own/use a glorified golf cart for their short errands.  By  implementing such a policy, we can move off the dependence for oil, update our infrastructure,  encourage more usage of electric cars, have an entire community on the same page for conserving energy, maybe even an entire seaboard...I'm a dreamer......

Maybe such a plan of action is already in the works.  If not I think it should be so here's what I'd like you to do.

Use any social outlet you have and hashtag it with this message:

 Lessen oil consumption by upgrading Gov't home disaster policy to include electric car charging stations in those homes. #MaxForward

I'd very much like to see what kind of consequences are the result ♫

New Year’s Eve

On a whim

He went in

To perhaps see his tomorrows.

She grasped his hand and peered at him.

Here’s the sign.

Your life line

Indicates some pain and sorrow.

But heed my words before you leave

Refrain:

 “Beware of New Year’s Eve,

Don’t stray from home. Don't leave."

He went out

With some doubt

Whether she was really psychic.

But not to take the chance with his route,

Every year

He’d stay near

Giving reasons quite sporadic,

But nothing bad or sad would occur.

Refrain

Never harmed,

He felt charmed

So he lived his life more freely.

He wrestled with success-he strong armed.

Wheeled and dealed,

Was well heeled,

Took a wife and had a family.

But he grew bored so he played the field..

Refrain

She’d been his friend,

Through all trends.

Then she turned into his lover.

Divorced, laid off with no dividends.

Their life was tough,

It was rough

Even when they lived together.

His life became a web to unweave.

So he told her the prophecy.

“Beware of New Year’s Eve.”

She laughed and pulled his sleeve…

“I was born on New Year’s Eve.”

Mosaic Mosaic

Can't help during this Lenten season to focus on a spiritual theme....A poem for your perusal:
Linking to Alphabe-Thursday Letter M and Inspire Me Monday

Mosaic Mosaic

When Moses moseyed into the desert and served

With a mosaic of rag tag peoples,

His leadership, style, and presence: reserved.

He, a conduit between mankind and temples…

A mere glimpse of all mankind in those desert years-

One tiny nation set aside and preserved.

That mosaic imbued with commandments and fears

Showing humans could never be God deserved;

Because mercy, grace and love rule the mosaic,

Only God can mesh the human and Spirit.

His Son did the weaving, scripturally prosaic.

All that’s required of us: just believe it.

Yes, we make up the bits and pieces

Of Christ’s holy mosaic.

Now shine, as your tiny bit meshes

With the total picture: the perfect Mosaic.
