That's half the battle right there

On my way home from Davis, every day, I notice that a tree on Holland Street has something fairly elaborate knitted around the trunk, as if somebody had knitted it a sweater. I thought it unusual, but didn't think much of it. Until today, when I finally learned just what was happening:

I'm not usually a huge fan of graffiti, but I have to say, I find this pretty amusing. Anybody want to admit to being the yarn-bomber, or seen any other examples around the Square?

While they may or may not read LJ, this is a Thank-You Post for the nice person or persons who decided to use their snowblower up and down most of the Hall Avenue sidewalks yesterday. Your kind snowblowin' made the walk last night and this morning much easier, and I'm sure I'm not the only one on the street who appreciated your gesture.

This is wholly sincere without a single snarky sentiment included for LJ's sake. I really mean it. It was a very nice thing for someone to do for their neighbors.

I don't have much else to say so here is a picture of a dog driving a cool-ass car with a cat riding shotgun.

So I know Orleans has Rock Band night every other Sunday... is there an algorithm I can use or reference I can check to find out which Sundays that actually is? ( I tried their website, but just saw the "every other Sunday" description.)

thanks!

Hi Davis LJ-ers!

I'm 'spring cleaning' and getting rid of some clothes. See the following links for their craigslist posts (warning- only for women size medium, and shoe size 8.5.) I can meet in the Porter/Davis area if interested. Thanks!
