I'm loving watching the Adams countdown clock today. Been glaring at it for years! Here's one last gag inducing ditty and video to remember him by:

I like that Stenchy is saving environment by reusing an old New Uear's decoration!

Looks like a fun party!
We stayed in tonight...too much snow and ice where we live to come home easily. The dog is happy we are home!

For what it's worth; in our Gannett owned local newspaper a couple weeks ago, there was a news article about "green" buildings built around the country over the past few years. I think the article was a re-print of a USA Today news story. Basically, the story was about how few of these eco/green buildings meet either their cost savings or low utility cost goals. And that most of the public agencies that are supposed to track these mostly non-existant "savings" have done little or nothing to report these failings to their public.
Perhaps in the future some folks need to put these green/sustainability folks in the public spotlight when the planned "savings" fail to materialize.

Dave A, I wish the public spotlight would be placed on the 4 windmills on top of the Twelve West Gerding-Edlen building in downtown Portland. It would be a simple and dramatic demonstration of how payback for public tax dollars is a long time coming.
The windmills are only a small part of all the tax dollars employed devices employed in this building. We need accounting. We don't need "guesstimate" dollars assigned to "it's a demonstration" value, so that's worth...?

Stenchy looks a bit hung over - must have caught some bad fish in the big green roll cart.

Nonny,
That was a quick takedown! Or was it all just a bad dream?

Mossy -
I was on a city website keyed to "Mayor"....
I expect Char-LIE wasn't amused.

Besides "Gangnam Style" & "Fiscal Cliff", can we ban the use of the words, "Sustainable" and "Office of Equity" now?

ltjd - Better yet, can we stop spending COP money on them?
