The weather today [thus far] is smurfing awesome! I'm actually contemplating leaving the house and walking downtown...if I feel like it. Hmm, maybe I'll go to the park and sit underneath the tree and read. Or write. Or draw. Or listen to music. Andy has informed me that Demon Hunter and a couple other bands are going to be playing at the Intersection sometime in July [I think]. Kyle, do you know anything about that? Mum and dad'll be going to a Steven Curtis Chapman concert later on this evening. So Andy and I will have the house to ourselves for a few hours...mwahahaha! Oh, and this is for all you treehuggers: The city wants to clear-cut some (meaning alot) of the trees in the neighborhood to make a park. When they had said 9 years ago that they'd never do anything like that. Just imagine it, the last few acres of undeveloped land. Home to birds and rodents and deer and other animals. They want to turn that land into a park, when Rockford already has enough parks to kill a cow. There will be a meeting on Tuesday in some random public/governmental place in down town Rockford. Many neighbors are going to come and protest. My dad being one of them. The official government persons of Rockford hate my dad already because he's being very vocal about the issue. A direct quote from him is, "Do you guys have money burning a hole in your pockets or something?" So yeah, anyways, SAVE THE TREES!! Edit 18.04.2005 21.09 The meeting is tomorrow at 7 at the City Hall. We want as many people to come, even though the damn city will probably get its way. Hug a tree! |

deloric | 04-17-05 3:03pm the tree thing pisses me off. im contemplating going to that meeting to protest it. |
threshershark | 04-17-05 11:32pm I'd really like to go ballistic on our city municiple officals 'cept that I'm trying to get a job there. We already have a bazillion parks and they all suck. We even have a friggin state park! Besides, where would they put a park in Glenville? Glen Park Road? I can hardly see anyone using it, as the land is sunken into the ground on either side of it.
