Gardening Rant
Where I live, I’m on the board of the Homeowner’s Association. Yes, I believe in civic activism.
So we have these center medians running down the street with trees planted and nice grass.
The association pays for their upkeep.
This year we decided not to pay a private landscaping company because the Parks Department who is technically supposed to maintain them, stated that they would go ahead and do it.
Today was their first day on the job.
They brought an effin’ 3 Ton field mower to mow the medians between the trees! For a job which is meant for a 50 pound lawn mower.
So I walk up to the field supervisor as the 3 ton field plow is backing up into the trunk of one of the trees and I ask the supervisor:
“Don’t you think that giant tractor is too big for this job? Especially since it’s rolling over the automatic sprinkler system and probably crushing it?”
To which they responded:
“Well, yeah, I guess.”
Next time they’re bringing the lawn mowers.
Your city services at work.
If anyone is doing a big paint job, you can get 5 gallons of Benjamin Moore paint for $49.99 at the hardware store/contractor supplier on the corner of Cypress Avenue and Summerfield, Bushwick.
Colors available:
White
Linen White
Bone White
China White

Puma, bxgrl is clearly the tramp steamer, while I’m a cruise ship.
I can’t keep the tent flaps closed, Legion.
Rob – would you use an ATM if it distributed quarters, dimes, and nickels?
Have tent, will travel CGar? ;o)

ugh, $10 atms are such a scam.
Legion, I have no choice but to be open and understanding with bxgrl, or else she might not let me sleep around.
