KNEWS :: Hell or High Water?

As of yesterday, 167 law enforcement officers were relieved of their duties to Newark, NJ indefinitely. This is but a foreshadowing of the cuts expected to extend to some sanitation and other municipal workers as the month progresses. While running any 'household', even a city-sized one, is well-known as no cheap or easy task to complete properly, some concern (if not compassion) should arise in considering what could become of a community with gradually increasing unemployment rates plus the added challenge of the proper safety and hygiene structure being shaken. Adding a little levity to these variedly serious times, maybe the Kentucky investors who decided to build a new ark (namely Noah's) have the right idea! At least that's somewhat more feasible in my opinion than, say, cosmetically enhanced apples over otherwise beautifying the "Big Apple", New York. Its natural effects on real food might not be all that pretty, but please remember, people: oxygen is often a good thing! What works for healthy blood and lung function should be good for fruit, too. Be well and breathe easy!
