No Good!

Hi, friends...

You know, life without a telephone is full of surprises...people just come a knockin', and guess who came a knockin' today?  That's right...my rocket scientist son home from college!  

Woot woot!  

Not only is it great to see him, but I can abscond with his laptop and connect from anywhere in the apartment.  

Double Woot!  

At any rate, today I came across this America the Beautiful Park footage that I thought you'd enjoy, since after all, 'tis the season.  But I was struggling with what to name the post.  So I asked rocket boy, who is also a football expert, and he gave me the right answer.  

Enjoy.

And again, to the doubters of my contention that the fountain is representative of the Vagina of Isis, note the story below, which (unbeknownst to me) was published in the Independent about one month prior to my THREE: REVELATION post...

....call it just my dirty mind, but the word selection is...unusual...no?

Penrose squirts again!

Since the city said it could no longer pay to run the Julie Penrose Fountain — a popular destination in America the Beautiful park — it's been up to the community to keep it going for the city's kids.

The nonprofit Friends of Julie Penrose Fountain has repeatedly stepped up to the plate to raise funds for the fountain, which needs $25,000 a year for water, staff to maintain safety, supplies and maintenance costs.

The El Pomar Foundation issued a $12,500 challenge grant for the fountain this year, which was mostly matched through small community donations. However, the Friends were still $4,000 short. Thankfully, the H. Chase Stone Trust stepped up to close that gap.

So, it looks like at least one of the city's fountains will be running. For this year.

The Friends note that the fundraising effort isn't over yet. With the 2010 season paid for, they're now focused on raising funds for the fountain in 2011.

But before they start that effort in earnest, they'll take time to celebrate this small victory:

The Friends of Julie Penrose Fountain will be hosting a “Turn on the 


Fountain” Celebration for the community to enjoy from 12-2pm on May 23rd in America the Beautiful Park. Additionally, Phantom Canyon has introduced the “Continuum Ale” (a Belgium white) this month and will donate 25% of summer sale proceeds to benefit the Friends of Julie Penrose Fountain.
