Community Environmental Fair

The Community Environmental Fair is an annual event, and it was actually wonderful weather, despite the weatherman's threats. Mom figures that she gave out 200+ kites over the period of five hours, which is one hour over the event. By the time we lifted our heads, all the other vendors were gone - who knows who they were - we never had the time to wander around. But we did have a great after-lunch with Joan and Duane.

While I painted, I learned just how disappointing radio has gotten - no wonder why people are paying monthly subscriptions for music! What used to be a local station was now canned and broadcast from a very ambiguous place that had the same tagline as hundreds others out there in this country, along with the same contests and call in questions - what a joke. Just for curiosity's sake, I left it on for a couple days - and yes, the same songs were played about every three hours like clockwork. Tom Petty was right. Oh - and even more sad - since when did songs from my high school days become RETRO HOUR??? Radio BITES.

Now I just have the floor to do - and it's really not as bright as the picture, promise. And I don't think I will paint again for as long as my memory can remind me how tedious it is.

You're so right, much of what is on the radio across the USA is preprogrammed classic rock, and a whole lot of Hanna Montana crap. I don't know what we'd do without our iPod. We don't have satellite radio though. Though it has some good points, it's still radio in a vacuum. Steve Earle does a great song about it.
