January 2022

Tough way to close out 2021 in The City when the following stories were reported during the final month:

“A Good Samaritan was attacked by a person on Howard Street in broad daylight who was wielding a knife and obviously mentally distressed.”

The Good Samaritan’s life was spared thanks to the police response but he’s a business owner and may possibly now move his company elsewhere without having to worry about our local crazies scaring customers away. Can’t blame him.

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines a pendulum as “a body suspended from a fixed point so as to swing freely to and fro under the action of gravity and commonly used to regulate movements (as of clockwork).” The pendulum, driven by gravity, is so completely in sync with the Earth’s movements that the pendulum clock, invited in the mid 1600s, was the world’s standard for timekeeping until the 1930s.
