Dave Ebenal Contractor

An interesting company is Dave Ebenal, a leading contractor in the Bellingham, Washington area. It makes me sad that I don't spend more time roaming around the country and staying in the Bronx, NY. Still, if we have the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) project, we are going to need great companies like Ebenal General.

If by some miracle, I do move to Fairhaven, which is an historic neighborhood in Bellingham, Washington, I probably would have to store my stuff at the local Self-Storage Warehouse. Hey, if you could get to work on the NAWAPA project, who needs stuff? All you need is a laptop computer to read about the great project of bringing water from Alaska and Canada in the Yukon area. Bellingham WA has always been a gateway port location to the north, especially involving the fishing industry. If you are fishing for salmon in Alaska, chances are that you already are bringing your catch down to Bellingham, WA for processing, as the first fishing port on the Northwest coast of the lower 48 states of the United States. NAWAPA is a fine project, I just hope that when they start it they have some paperwork around it that I can do. I am too old a geezer to do much of the construction work. It's hard to accept, but that is the reality.

Despite my obsession with NAWAPA, I have to admit that some of the projects that Ebenal has done in the Bellingham area are very nice. I took a look at the video of the restored Waldron building, and I must admit that this would be a fine addition to any downtown area of cities across the United States. In the Bronx we have the Kingsbridge Armory, a large old building from over 100 years ago. I am sure that Ebenal could do a wonderful job in restoring such a building.

In a posting May 23 on MarketWatch.com, "What Washington is eyeing after J.P. Morgan trade," author Robert D. Orol reports that Republicans might rally around Thomas Hoenig, former chairman of the Kansas City Fed and an advocate of Glass-Steagall, who in March became a Commissioner on the Board of the Federal Deposit Guarantee Corporation.

Orol writes, "Another idea [for today's financial mess] that has some Congressional staffers and legislators talking is a concept put forward by former Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Thomas Hoenig that would bar big banks from broker-dealer activities or sponsoring hedge funds or buyout firms outright.

Bronx Affiliate Marketing Schemes

Bronx Affiliates can be easy; Affiliate Marketing can be nonsense; Is it worth the thing you're doing; Turning Bronx into a bag people hotel.

At the top of Ponzi scheme it's hot; But what about Zac Johnson moral rot; Getting affiliate marketing raves; Leaving dupes at bottom in daze;

I saw the brand Zac Johnson created; I can say the truth, I was not impressed; Not in the least; In Harlem we'd have said go back to poker.

But oh well, guess I'll leave my blues at home.

May Bronx Trolley Tour

The Spring tour on the Bronx Trolley, on May 2nd was exciting, and the weather was wonderful. The Bronx Trolley tour is a regular monthly chance to see the latest art exhibits and get a feeling for the opportunities and richness of the Bronx. Local residents mixed with tourists from France and other countries to see what the Bronx has to offer.

At the start of the Trolley, at the Longwood Gallery, Hostos College, visitors got to butterfly greeting cards. This is on the theme of the Big Read campaign to promote reading, which features the book “The Time of the Butterfly.” It sounds like a children’s book, but it is about four sisters who resisted the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic during the last century. The art workshop was led by Fran Marino of the Bronx Council on the Arts. I got a chance to use cardboard and different colors of crepe paper to make cute little butterflies, and then pin them on a colorful design that I made on a greeting card.

After this, I hopped on the Bronx Trolley bus to the next stop, the Bronx Museum, showing the Baseball in the Bronx exhibit that I reported on last week. The next stop was Pregones Theater at 571-575 Walton Avenue. A lively party was going on, presided over by Pregones’ Jorge Merced and Rosalba Rolon. People chatted or drank while waiting for a showing of 10 short films. The big attraction in the lobby was a photo exhibit, entitled Transiciones (Transitions) by Tony Rocco. Photos varied from stark archival black and white to more colorful displays. The photo “Dad” shows an expressive and worn-down man, taken in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1990. The stark photos contrasted against the bright acrylic on canvas work “Gurasalem” by Pablo Marcano Garcia, a 2005 gift to the theater on its inauguration. This is an abstract crucifixion-type icon with blotches of color, as large as life.
