Complicated life
Life is complicated. To navigate through it, we all employ models that help make sense of it all. I often use my role as a sports official. Unlike all other participants in the game, the official alone has the responsibility to render a decision and live with it. I have great respect for those who live with the burden of responsibility. It can get heavy. Officials also must decide when life catches up and decisiveness declines. It can be like a frog in hot water though. Coming to that conclusion is a process over time, if we are lucky.
Freedom Festival drone show
I appreciate the efforts of all the volunteers who contribute to Cadillac events, including the recent Freedom Festival. It was good of local businesses to contribute to the Friday night drone show. Unfortunately the event needed a little better planning. First, it was not well advertised. The newspaper article gave no information as to the time and exact location of the event. A Google search gave the time as 9:30 p.m., but the actual time was after 10 p.m. Most people seem to have assumed that the event could be best seen at the park pavilion, but it could not be seen at all from there, since it was staged near the boat dock by the Chamber of Commerce building. Many left early because they couldn’t see anything. Better planning, please.
