If every day my neighbor threw his coffee cup with his name on it in my bushes along the public sidewalk in front of my house I could sue him and prevail. 

But if my neighbor sold coffee in mugs with my neighbor's name on the mug, and the the mug ended up everyday in my bushes along the public sidewalk in front of my house I couldn't sue him and prevail.  

The image above shows the dozens of spam "user" applications which came into realneo admin this morning.

 Welcome to the Funny Farm...

Where all the Crazies from the Big Cities flocked to escape the corruption...

Where they could live off the land if needed and not worry about the stress of city life...

Where they could work themselves to death chopping wood year round to heat their homes in the winter. 

Where they could dig deep to find well water or look for a natural mountain water spring to sustain life. 

Where they could barter and trade junk to survive.

This pumpkin is about 8 feet tall and on an old concrete retaining wall in the woods - very spirited!

 It's absurd to have a heart for the City of Cleveland these days...It hit me that our "sense of community" is simply a chronic disease of attending enumerable forums to attempt to react to the conditions that continue to deteriorate while finding small senses of purpose in that fight. We used to believe that we were making a difference by engaging the disengaged. Somehow; many of us missed the boat.... The game in this city is not one of creating a "HOMETOWN"-that's a facade from eras long ago... 

Now there are not too many things other people have that I am jealous of or covet...

I can wield a camera around pretty handily, but, I certainly wish I could paint like Jane.
