    While trying to ID a tree, Poison Sumac was suggested.

    Hah! I wish it was water. That's pavement. :laugh: Actually, I don't wish it was water. It was extremely hard to find home insurance around here. All of the big companies are pulling out of coastal areas since Katrina. Travelers, Allstate, and Liberty Mutual had already stopped writing...

    While trying to ID a tree, Poison Sumac was suggested.

    That would totally suck. The second and third ID sites suggested Ash. But the bark doesn't look quite right. I've seen this tree bark before at the NY Botanical Gardens and was intrigued by it. But can't for the life of me remember what it is. I've posted pictures on three garden forums...

    pics for greenie and any other curious otc-er

    Wow, Ku'u, it looks great! And I can't believe how big the kids are. I was showing Rusty and said, I remember when they were BORN! :laugh: As if I was there. :D I LOVE the posts and railings you used for the lanai. I think it was a great idea too, considering all the straight lines you have on...

    Tootsie is on

    I forgot how endearing this movie is. And how great a song "It Might Be You - All of My Life" is.

    Amy Winehouse

    I completely agree. With all the stick thin, drunk and/or drugged out dirtbags out there, it's getting harder and harder to find young female singers or actresses to look up to. You ever see these two pictures? Amazing, isn't it? Now I'm not going to deny that a lot of the great music...

    I think my Lojack is worth more than my car right now.

    Can I make another selfish request?

    Whoa. You got a hottie on your hands. Or lap, as it were. Good job Altron. I approve! :D

    That's what OTC is to me. :D And gardening. And photography.

    You mean this? http://www.simplybeautifulgardens.com/plant_info.aspx?phid=049800001011255 I had never heard of it before either. I love variegated foliage. Now that I have part/full shade, I'm going to try to grow something I've been admiring for years...

    Sup OTC. Can I get some updates?

    So glad to see ya Ku'u! :hug: So if it's just plumbing fixtures and such, posting a bunch of pictures wouldn't be out of order, would it? I'm so happy for you guys. I want to see that beautiful compound of yours. :D

    Really? You don't say.

    When you say put ahead of the people, do you mean the soccer mom's need to drive humongous gas guzzling SUV's for no good reason? :D Or that a lot of people think you should spend much more of your hard earned money than normal in the name of the environment? Or something else? I don't...

    Really? You don't say.

    Hrm. Now you're making me want to take a tour of my recycling plant. I've been there already to pick up my new containers for paper and plastic. And I've seen the seperated piles and mounds. I just haven't seen what happens to it after that. I suppose it's quite possible they're not doing...

    Really? You don't say.

    I've seen them online at a lot of places, but they're all over $100 each. If I couldn't get one from Terracycle.net, I was going to try Gardeners.com. There are a bunch of tutorials online of creating your own from wine barrels, pickle barrels, even soap barrels from car washes. The ones...

    Really? You don't say.

    Blast me if you wish but I've jumped on the reduce/reuse/recycle bandwagon. I've got a passion for figuring out smarter and cheaper ways to do things. I think the best way to go with these things is to exploit methods that are better for Mother Nature AND that save people money. Isn't it...

    Let's see 'em!

    Altron, is that what I think it is out your window? Christ, you weren't kidding about your view! Too bad all those trees are going to block it in a few months.
