"Crafty" City Budget Solutions... and Other Ideas
REMEMBER SATURDAY - [SEE 09APR POST] - and Our Shop-fari through CRATER COUNTRY?
Well, the Night *before*, I came across THIS --->
...And when, I surveyed said POTHOLE PRAIRE, I *Concluded*
that it was going to take a pretty BIG Flock of PRE-YARN to fill Those Puppies!!
Here's "YARN-BOMBING" Artisan JULIANA SANTACRUZ HERRERA's take on Urban Infrastructural Repair in PARIS.

Meanwhile, I think HERRERA and "OaKoAk" should be on CITY COUNCILS *Everywhere*!
What a WONDROUS WAY to combine Roadway and Building Maintenance COSTS with ARTS Funding!
Of course, NOT to be *outdone* by The FRENCH, The GERMANS have ventured into Their own Brand of Urban Decor....

And THEN, We have the PRE-YARN "Reaching out..." with Their *Message* regarding RECYCLING.

Soooo.... TODAY's Weather was "breathtaking"... On and off SUNLIGHT. HOT - for this Time of Year - TEMPS. It went up to 23C! And, with what started out as a Swift, BALMY BREEZE, later turned into an even STRONGER, GUSTING *Clear-Sky* WIND STORM... sorta...
Whatever... it was considerably *better* than Last Night's almost-Record RAINFALL and THUNDER-STORM! ...sorta...
