Don, I wasn't trying to suggest that it would be me, a unit of little brain power, who would be looked upon by historians as the one who came up with the idea for the ivy-covered walls. For one thing, some credit should go to the person who thought of the walls in the first place, and I meant to point out that whoever had ALREADY thought of it would be considered a genius. I did not use enough words in my statement, obviously. I really do agree that the ivy would be the best solution to the, ahem, lack of beauty that the walls now exhibit.

"I can't wait until tomorrow, because I get more lovable every day."

I didn't take it you were implying it was your idea at all. Just having a little fun with the idea, which I thought you were saying, of how often I we see someone else, or ourselves, come up with a good idea only to see someone else try to grab the credit.

For myself, I am glad you like the idea. I am very pleased with the follow up David Rast did on the idea, as well.

I had seen this technology somewhere before and just thought it would fit. Kind of a play on the old climbing beans, flower arbors and such that have been in use for who knows how long.

Thanks!

I think those trees they planted in the median are crepe myrtle bushes. Anyway, who is going to water them? Well, mother nature did this weekend.

How much room do you think they need?

Plant English Ivy at the walls and in a few years PTC will be bragging about the beautiful ivy covered walls, and the argument may be over who was the genius behind the idea.

"I can't wait until tomorrow, because I get more lovable every day."

Sonny will have to do it! No wait, he doesn't do anything, does he?

He is a "conservative!"

on the backside near Kelly Dr.

Either that or dynamite under the walls every 10 feet and light the fuse!

Leland Cypress would have solved the problem by now with NO WALL.
Where oh where is the imagination?

Tell you what, I am, among other things, a muralist. I'll paint that wall and it'll only cost $49,995.

The history of the United States from Washington to Obama, a little over two hundred years, would be appropriate I think.

Start with Washington in his boat crossing the Delaware, and end with Obama dropping out of Iraq!

We might make it as long as the Romans did if we makes some "Changes."
How long did they continually fight and rule? Even Popes helped didn't they? Was it about 5-6 hundred years?

The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Babylonians, Germans, Cossacks, and the great Hordes of China, didn't really rule anywhere very long. Seems they always wanted more and more until the Ponzi burst!

I don't even think we need to consider the Crusaders or the Muslim Armies much since religion has never been very popular as a ruler.

All those philosophers out of Greece and Germany screwed up all of our thinking so much we may never survive (sorry muddle).

Hey, it is about food, shelter, clothing, and sex. No more!
If you want to mix religion with any of that, it is severe trouble! Religion is truly individualistic--not open to thinkers too much.

Well OK, but you have to buy the paint. Go ahead and get started and we'll send you the check.
