As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern

The Blackhawk Plaza is an upscale shopping center in Danville, CA. It has the Blackhawk Auto Museum, Draeger’s Market/ Grocery Store, Movie Theatre, Restaurants, and many shops. I had a previous diary about the Museum. The whole plaza has many water ways, swans and ducks. You can purchase special duck/swan food from Draeger’s. A jungle gym is also available for the kids. This diary will highlight the fun and whimsical public art. It shows a grandfather reading to his granddaughter and imagining impossible dreams. All of these sculptures are dedicated to teachers. Brian Keith is the sculptor of this wonderful public art installation.
Keith earned a commission from Centercal Properties, who commissioned him with developing a sculptural art program for a plaza in Danville, California. For this project, Keith produced “Imagine”, a narrative about an older man who sits down to read to his granddaughter, when the story they share together miraculously comes to life in front of them. Keith’s whimsical figures won him more supporters and led to many other large commissions.
