CHERRY FESTIVAL......GRRR
« on: July 01, 2006, 05:15:09 pm »
If you ever come to Traverse City....DO NOT....I REPEAT....DO NOT come during the Cherry Festival....it sucks beyond compare....I get so irrate around the HOARDS of tourists that come into our little town... Now I don't mind tourism...it's our main income....BUT when a tourist decides that it's OK to park ON THE SIDEWALK SO THEY CAN WATCH THE PARADE FROM THIER CAR...well that's where I get a littl peeved.   Don't come into my home and act like you own the joint. I'll cut you. I swear! (This is directed at all of the diddywackers down at the pie eating contest....)


I need to move somewhere completely undesireable to every dingleberry with "I <3 TC" shirts on.






SORRY IM FRUSTRATED.

Not exactly about Traverse City or Aspen, but: I like freaking out/embarassing my straight friends when they say something like "He's an asshole!" I reply, "Mmmmm, aaaaaashooooole..." The way Homer Simpson says "Mmmmm beeeeeeeer..." Silly, I know, but I get a kick out of it.  ;D
Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

LMAO Jenn!

I'm being inundated with tourists too... for a week. My town is hosting the Viking Festival and since the harbour and beach are both on my doorstep, so is the festival. Not only do people keep parking their cars RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY GATE... but I've also caught two men peeing on the wall just beside my gate. (In fact, when I asked the first guy if he always peed on people's gates, he got his shoes wet. :D )

So, today I pinned a sign on my gate. It reads...

Quote
My garden gate is not a carpark, nor is it a toilet. PLEASE take your car and/or your urine and DEPOSIT THEM ELSEWHERE!
Thank you for your cooperation.

I was in the garden this evening and everyone who stopped to read it had a good laugh... but best of all, no one parked their car and/or peed on my gate! Yay!

Ann

PS... congratulations on selling some of your paintings! Yay again! ;)
