Technically, Saturday December 26th 2015 is the last day of 2015



by C. Henry Adams

As a joke, I thought of stating that technically, Saturday December 26th 2015 should be the last day of the year, since it is the last day of the 52nd Week in a Year.

But, at this point - I will refrain from making such a comment by reason of the World having utilize the Gregorian Calendar ever since 1582 or approximately 433 years ago.

I would attempt to state that,  if a system such as this particular calendar has last on the Planet Earth as a result of the celestial body cycling while rotating around a star to which we call the Sun for four (4) centuries, three (3) decades and 3 years, then why change it now?

Perhaps somebody would say, " Global Warming, that's why! "

Or someone else would write a paper regarding the Gregorian Calendar and Climate Change in 2008:

Having experience a noticeable climate change in Atlanta, Georgia from December 24th through the 26th of 2015; is it a wake up call?

Well, these are my thoughts, what say you?   Thanks for reading my commentary, we greatly appreciate you.

Ronald Read may have spent years pumping gas, but he was even more adept at pumping up his portfolio.

Mr. Read, a longtime resident of Brattleboro, Vt., died in June at the age of 92. His friends were shocked when they learned his estate was valued at almost $8 million. Long widowed and with two stepchildren, he left most of his money to a local hospital and library.

So how did he manage to pull it off? Besides being a good stock picker, he displayed remarkable frugality and patience—which gave him many years of compounded growth.

Merry Christmas! Reflection of 2015
Yes, Climate / Weather Change is Real



by C. Henry Adams


For as long as I can remember, I don't think I've ever seen rain or 70 degree F weather on Christmas Eve in Atlanta, Georgia.

Some people blame the weather conditions on Man; others warn of God's Wrath. At this point, I choose to think positive and be thankful for seeing another day on this great Earth.

Being a Realist and Optimist is who I am.    According to Past Weather Events for North and Central Georgia since the year 2008, no unusual weather patterns like the current conditions of rain were recorded on the date of December 24th in Atlanta, Georgia.

Should I think negative about this wet weather?  No. 

Fore, I have no control of it. Furthermore, there are people somewhere in this World suffering from drought.

So, what should I do?

Well, I guess the answer would be to continue celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

But, if the weather starts to get me down, because of so much rain; I can always reflect on the positive things viewed this year in 2015.

After all, this is the 52nd week or officially the last full week of seven (7) days in the year of 2015.

When I reflect on the last 358 days of 2015, I see the sun rising.

I recall chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a side of punch at a Birthday Party.  I envision Bar-B-Que cooked on the grill during the Summer time. I imagine walking from the CNN Building and catching site of a beautiful evening in the ATL.

Atlanta, the State of Georgia and the Southeastern Region of the USA is a great place to live, gain an education and develop a small business in 2016.

Those are my thoughts, so what say you?  Thanks for reading my commentary.

Merry Christmas and let's all have a Happier New Year in 2016.

Bulter Street Community Development Corporation - "Give A Child A Smile"



by C. Henry Adams


On Saturday December 19th 2015, the 352nd day of the year, the 51st week of 2015;  I had the honor to volunteer along with the Brothers of the Historical Gate City Lodge Number 42 of the MWPHGLGA at the "Give A Child A Smile" Event sponsored by the Butler Street Community Development Corporation.

This event was located at 17 Jesse Hill Junior Drive in the Gym across from the Notable Butler Street YMCA within the Sweet Auburn Avenue Memorable Atlanta City District Number Two.

According to the Bible, "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven."

On that note, enough about me and my Fellow Brothers.  Therefore,  I would like to commend the Butler Street Community Development Corporation for serving over 200 meals to everyone.

Furthermore, 50 bicycles with Safety Helmets were given away to some very happy children; who could not wait until Christmas Day to ride them; even while the Devil set-off the Fire Alarm in the Gymnasium. 

Whereas, Santa Helpers passed out 150 gifts to many elated children and grateful parents.

Thank you Butler Street Community Development Corporation and their Board Members; we greatly appreciate your service to Atlanta, Georgia.

These are my thoughts.  So, what say you?  Thanks for reading this commentary, we greatly appreciate you.
