is your hose long enough?
Damn, the rugby pitch was dusty tonight - I blew out a mess of grey snot when I got home. We need a nice tropical system to sit its soggy ass on the region for a few days of rain. There's even been a fall streetbox arborculture alert from the Shaw Neighborhood Listserv:
As our trees go into winter dormancy, it is critical that they are well irrigated before the leaves fall off this fall. Otherwise, they will probably not leaf out in the spring and the trees will die. PLEASE WATER YOUR TREES WITH 20 GALLONS OF WATER (ONE FULL GATORBAG) ONCE A WEEK FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO HELP ENSURE THEIR SURVIVAL THROUGH THE WINTER. If your neighbors are away and your hose is long enough, please water their trees as well.Is your hose long enough? Please check and water as suggested.
I missed the neighborhood ECCA meeting on Monday, but apparently according to some of my readers' comments the other day my time was better spent in my boring Statistical Methods lecutre: Homophobic ECCA Pres. & Board Mock Gay Citizen. Apparently the board is run under unctuous circumstances. And not only are public computers mysteriously missing, laptops are not allowed at the meetings! I know people can be obnoxious with cell phones and BlackBerrys, but go to any modern classroom or meeting and you'll find them everywhere.
ECCA: Keeping Shaw in the Dark Ages.
Simple Rules for Peaceful City Living by DurbanBud. This morning I was almost run over by a truck who did not yield to the pedestrian with the right of way. Every day I am reminded that I'm far more likely to die in a car accident than being shot in Shaw. It's kind of a comforting thought I guess.
Superhero presidential candidate casting call, written by someone well-versed in both comic hero histories and candidates. My favorite was Al Gore as Galactus: lurking out there somewhere, feeds off the destruction of the planet to maintain his massive girth.
From BooBob - brand new Seann Scott scruffage from the film SouthlandTales:
Perhaps Seann William Scott could be assigned to foot patrol in Shaw. That would be very nice.

They probably dont want computers because it reminds people of the ones that went "missing"??? Either that or they dont want what is said recorded well...I believe filming is not allowed either at these meetings? Leroy wouldnt want his ignorant homophobic abuse to be recorded for all to see.

Somehow, I don't think I'd have a problem with him being my superior officer. >:)

Two comments:
1.) Seann Scott = WOOF He can put his laws on my body anytime he wants.
2.) I have never been one to feel secure enough in the laws of man to ignore the laws of physics when cross a road in DC/NYC/or walking on the sidewalk in LA.
