evandalism

The Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Sacramento and as of late has become a victim of vandalism, or in this case, what I'd like to call evandalism--you know what I'm talking about. It's not hard to guess who might be responsible for this but I will be one to say that it needs to stop right away. Please do not spread your message on a landmark! On so many levels this is just wrong and does not sit well with me at all. I'm not here to bash Christianity. I do recognize that it is not a religion that stuck the "Jesus is Lord" and "Hallelujah" stickers to the Tower Bridge and surrounding area but most likely a group of young, naive kids out to do "good." Good deeds and effectiveness, well, that's definitely something that is open to interpretation but from my perspective I cannot get past the weirdness of it all. "Jesus is Lord" and "The Prince of Peace is Lord" stickers all over the place--that's just weird!!! ;) For the record, if the message were of political nature or a local band advertising themselves I would feel no different (so please no religious debates on my blog.) Bottom line, public property is not to be destructed. Thank you very much.

So taking a step back from the heaviness of the topic, everybody does react differently to things like this and I must say that my reaction included a lot of laughter and wondering what the hell these people were thinking. Vandals for Jesus? Hmm... So anyway, enjoy the message and feel free to share your thoughts.





















By the way, the cost of painting the Tower Bridge is estimated at $3.5 million.

Farewell


Bad news. My thumb isn't as green as I thought it was. I went from this to a shriveled up plant in just two weeks. I thought that this time would be different because I watered the damn thing and made sure it got a nice spot in the sun whenever it needed it but things are not looking so good... Oh, well.


So I met a duck (or a goose?).


I walked around McKinley Park with a juicer and...


a swinger!


A new baby is...


on his way.


We can't wait to meet you, Thomas. Please come soon!

in heat


Our State Capital is...


getting hot!


I mean, just like they said it would and all...
(it's our first summer up here)


My only concern is that if it's this hot now...


What's it going to be like in August?!?


Well, I guess that there are plenty of other things to complain about so I'll just stuff a sock in it and deal with the heat for now.
And in the meantime I'll be glad that...


My sweet grandmother is coming up tomorrow for a visit.

That's about it for now.

A pleasantly-scented surprise that made Friday good.


Fatherhood celebrated.


The world turned and we were reminded that...


Taiwan and Thailand are not the same.
Don't forget. Thanks.


And have yourself a great week. Cheers!
