guerrilla gardens

I read an article about "guerrilla gardens". Richard Reynolds lives who in the United Kingdom and started midnight gardening with the purpose of beautifying urban areas. It has started to spread and cases of guerrilla gardens have been reported as far away as Vancouver BC.
Sounds fun and serves a purpose.

Parenting for the new generation

Ok, I was eating lunch today at the mall and saw something that made me cringe. A woman ,her son, and daughter just finished eating when the mom stood u and said "lets go". The son told her "not until I finish me game" (he had a P2P. She didn't say anything and sat down for 10 more minutes while he finished.
This disrespect would never have been tolerated when I was a child. Plus, no games or TV while eating was the rule.
