Does anybody know what these are?  They are planted up at our bus center and heaven forbid the designers ever think of putting something there to identify all the plants.

Not that bus riders would have time to stoop and read, but they could of posted a list inside the building because the security guy said people are always asking.  He also said they had a bunch more plants when the Governor was coming for the dedication and that those got tossed afterwards.  Another great use of your tax dollars.

Speaking of which, a pool friend continues to send me the emails about the misspent funds by the victims of Katrina. You know all those stories circulating.

I wrote back when our Congress people get rid of the pork in the budgets, stop building bridges and roads unecessary, stop running flags up and down the pole so they can send them back home, halt the waste in every government entity, then I will start worrying about the rumor mill on the poor folks that still want their cold beer even though they have no home, or the dollar or two they spend on lottery tickets.

I also reminded her about the number of office workers that replenish their home supply of pens, paper, paperclips etc.

It's not that it pleases me that people abuse money rendered in a needed time. I just can't do diddly squat about it, so not a lot of sense in forwarding the complaining emails. Don't tell me to write my congress either. See above.

And a big thank you to Jade Angel for correcting my stab at the Frapper link button!
