Getting approval to beautify public property can be

IŒd say we are suffering from the lack of ownership. All
this work yet
if no one steps up for communion it is all for naught. By
this I suggest a garden where someone cares fares better
then one where the count shows up once a month.


what i want to know is why one needs all kinds of permits to
beautify *public* property? if it's public, it's ours. we
*should* take resposibility to clean it up & care for it.
i think the problem is that we are so used to having others
take care of things for us (how many city folk know where
their garbage goes?), that we no longer know what is *ours* &
what to do with it.

It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.
