Well, my Dutch is a little rusty so I had to google it. It is from Descartes and means I think therefore I am. Pretty wild to place it in stone in front of one’s home, yeah? Personally, I’ve always survived by: absentem laedit cum ebrio qui litigat.
We’ve seen vines growing on rowhouses before but have you ever seen a tree growing out of a rowhouse?
Fire Escapes are pretty cool in their own right but I liked how this one has a built in plant holder. At least that’s what I think the cylindrical metal shape to the right of the picture is…
On Columbia Road you can get an old school ice where they pour the flavoring right over the ice. Raspberry is of course the best flavor.
I was really intrigued by this bumper sticker. Every now and then I hear some report that people are upset with the name Redskins but it tends to die down pretty quickly. I actually went to college at a school where we were called the Redskins and when I was a senior there was a vote on whether or not to change the name. Well, if I recall correctly, the students voted overwhelming to keep the name the Redskins. And the next year it was changed to the Redhawks. And nobody cares about the name change anymore. So if the name Redskins is insensitive, even to just a few, why won’t they change the name? History? Marketing? Is it not really offensive and people are being too PC? So do you think the name should be changed? Any guesses on why it hasn’t changed? Have any suggestions for a new name?
While Wonderland and Looking Glass Lounge are great accomplishments in their own right, did you know that Rose has also been busy saving the world? I mentioned in a previous post that Rose runs an international public health non profit group called Data Dyne. I thought it was unbelievably cool that she has recently won the prestigious Stockholm Challenge event for her EpiSurveyor Project. (more…)
Anyone have a recommendation for a contractor to install crown molding?
Does anyone know of a place that will do some small-scale spot welding?
This is a bit random but for some reason it made me laugh so hard I nearly doubled over. I think it also contributes nicely to the beautiful life. Young girl to another: “Girl, you need to get a fucking perm!”. Beautiful.
Sweet mango cafe puts up a banner for a local candidate. Incidentally, I wonder if all the construction from the street improvement is going to effect their business? I certainly hope not and I’m pretty sure as long as that beautiful jerk chicken smoke continues to waft out the customers will keep coming, barriers or not.
I hope someone was able to use them but it just seems like an odd thing to leave out. Do you think it was left out for someone who was shoeless or was it left for someone who would walk past it, stop and say damn those are some sweet kicks?
