Thought of the day
Why do people in this country have paintings or pictures of scenery hanging on their wall when all they have to do is LOOK OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW?

I don't live in the US, but I know it's the same for people living in apartments in urban areas. If you look outside the window, all you'll see is buildings, pavement, a few trees, etc.
In fact, I'm happy that the tree in front of the building I live in has grown so much that all I can see is the tree.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me, it is because there is beauty in art that is not the same as the beauty that is in nature. By having paintings AND by going outside, I can get both.

Phil would never leave if he visited here, without a doubt.
As for the picture, if only I could get the damn flash to turn off it would be soooo much better in low light, sigh, must learn to read japanese.....

This is what I see out of my window:
Oh, look, a happy tree!  If I turn to the right, I see a happy surveilance camera, a happy semaphore and I can also see the tree's friends, hello happy trees!  And If I turn to the left, I can see more of the first happy tree, some happy plants and some happy parking meters.

what if your happy plants are dreaming of being replanted someplace else? Hmmm would they need a Green card?

 But keep in mind that they are Evil Mexican Happy Plants, so they might trick an American Happy Plant to marry them
