Day 235 – (AD 1,397) – 21.5 Miles – Jim’s Trek Part V – On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled 21.5 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals 29,631.5 miles; 47,687.4 kilometers.

And I have completed 23.8% of the distance to my next destination and goal point.

Warning –

Genealogy –

Sometimes it is possible to follow a wrong lead while researching an ancestry line.

I have been researching Great-Great-Grandaunt Sarah E. Pierce. She was born 14 July 1841 in Maryland. One Sarah E. Pierce I discovered married Samuel Mimm 27 May 1869 in Chester, Pennsylvania. GG-Grandaunt Sarah, this Sarah Mimm died in 1909 in Avondale, Chester, Pennsylvania.

Her parents were GGG-Grandparents William H. and Sarah P. (née Fuller) Pierce. GG-Grandaunt Sarah E. was one of their 11 children.

Of course, I can follow their line and descendants. The issue is there are a couple of other Sarah E. Pierces in my research who may or may not be one and the same.

The line I am referring to may or may not be correct. Hopefully, someone may be able to provide some verifiable proof.

Soapbox –

It is that I would like to but it is almost impossible to hide from articles regarding the character, or lack thereof, of #45.

This morning, as always one of my Google News search items is “Fabric Art”. I have set this is with my quilting hobby I am always interested in reading what might be going on in fabric art and the art of fabric.

And what should pop up?

Sheryl Gay Stolberg’s The New York Times, Aug 7, 2017, “Many Politicians Lie. But Trump Has Elevated the Art of Fabrication.”

“Whit Ayres, a Republican political consultant here, likes to tell his clients that there are “three keys to credibility.”
“One, never defend the indefensible,” he says. “Two, never deny the undeniable. And No. 3 is: Never lie.” Would that politicians took his advice…
…Mr. Trump is trafficking in hyperbole, distortion and fabrication on practically a daily basis…”

Day 234 – (AD 1,396) – 21.3 Miles – Jim’s Trek Part V – On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled my Schwinn 170 another 21.3 miles. On this 1,396th day, I have now cycled a total of 29,610.0 miles; 47,652.8 kilometers.

And I have completed 18.9% of the 440 miles to my next Martian destination and goal point.

A couple of days ago I listened to an interview with Terry Gross of NPR’s Fresh Air as she talked with Bill Moyers. During their discussion, Mr. Moyers made a statement to one of Ms. Gross’ questions that I just had to note, when I stopped at the next red light on my route. “Seminary is where I got my questions answered and life is where I got my answers questioned.”

Reading –

From Moyers & Company, by Michael Winship, August 3, 2017, “Three Trump Speeches and the Death of a Nation”.

“Donald Trump is not a president but he plays one on TV. And a terrible one at that.”

And according to FiveThirtyEight, the presented algorithm of polls, on Day 197 45’s approval rating is the lowest ever.

So, what is happening? Where are we going as a country?

And to our quilting, our newest MTBD, the quilting is progressing.

Day 233 – (AD 1,395) – 21.1 Miles – Jim’s Trek Part V – On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today I pedaled my Schwinn 170 another 21.1 miles. Totals 29,588.7 miles; 47,618.5 kilometers,

I have now completed 14.0% of the distance to my next destination and goal point. So far, I have pedaled, in the corners of my mind and on the dusty trails of Mars 4,687.1 miles,

And at times during my Brunhammer/Ganzer genealogical research, I may stumble across a sad notice of possible literary reference. This time maybe to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette.

I'm not sure of any family connection if any, but this has all the elements dramatic pathos.

“Dernière Heure
Paris, 12 avril, 3 h. 30 matin
Mulhouse, 12 avril. - A Guebwiller (Haut-Rhin), un jeune chômer nommé Fréderic Ganzer, âgé de 19 ans, a tué d'un coup de revolver, en plein coeur son amie Marthe Buscher, âgée de 16 ans, puis s'est suicidé en se logeant une balle dans la poitrine.
Les deux jeunes gens avaient décidé de se donner la mort parce que les parents de la jeune fille s'étaient opposés à son union avec le jeune Fréderic Ganzer. Ils ont choisi, pour y mourir, un abri de la grande guerre. C'est là que des promeneurs ont trouvé leures ca-davres.”

Translation -

"Dernière Heure

Paris, 12 April, 3 h. 30 morning

Mulhouse, 12 April. - In Guebwiller (Haut-Rhin), a young unemployed man named Fréderic Ganzer, aged 19, killed a 16-year-old friend Marthe Buscher in a heart-stroke with a revolver and then committed suicide, by firing a bullet in the chest.

The two youths had decided to commit suicide because the parents of the girl had opposed her union with the young Frederic Ganzer. They have chosen, to die there, in a shelter from the great war. This is where strollers found their dead bodies."

Reading –

In this day and age of the telecommunications revolution, the legal profession is slowly, if not at a sort-of good pace regarding the implications of what can and cannot be deemed as “electronic” free speech. Moral to this article from The Dallas Morning News by Claire Z. Cardona, “Bride, groom who slammed Dallas wedding photographer online, in media must pay $1.08M”.

"No one is saying you can't go and write a review," Wishnew said. "Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence. Things you put on the internet to attack a business have real world consequences and that really resonated with the jury. You can't go and burn someone's house down and claim free speech."

According to USPS June 19th, the package has been delivered. All-things-being-equal, I hope it was delivered to the correct address.


Work continues on our new MTBD quilt. Thank you for the compliments regarding our work.
