Pretty impressive eh? Did it with a little bit of dumpster diving, a couple of earth posters and about six bucks worth of paint. The sad thing, apart from the obvious OCD, is that these are stacking up at my place instead of being out on the freeways where they belong.
Unfortunately mom hasn't quite bounced back from surgery, so for the past three months I've been taking care of her and unable to go on road trips. You know how they say that taking care of an aging parent is really difficult and draining but also incredibly rewarding and sometimes devastating? They're right.
But this diary isn't about that. Like most of my diaries it's about cardboard and paint and putting words in front of eyeballs. The best part of my day is once mom's asleep and I can go into the garage, turn on some music and crank up the overhead projector. Right now my wings are clipped, so I'm going to ask some of you to take up the slack.
Here's a 9 foot banner spread out:
Here it is ready for mailing:
So here's the deal: If you'd like to put one of these up in your neighborhood, send me a Kosmail with a mailing address and I'll send you one. You put it up someplace where people will see it and send me a picture at freewayblogger@yahoo.com
That's it. I'll cover the mailing costs. If you feel like giving back, make a donation to Daily Kos.
Posting is simple: find a piece of fence that's easy to see but difficult to get to, go there, strap the sign to the fence with a couple of bungee cords and a bit of duct tape and walk away. Takes about ten seconds. The end result should look something like this:
Here are some of the fifty or so I've painted for this project so far. This offer is open to all Kossacks who want to do it. If I get swamped, priority will be given to green diarists. Let's see if we can make this work.
