Tie o’ the Day #2 be another Tommy Hilfiger. It has a light blue, denim-looking background with fluorescent pink paisley paisles. Shirt is a Code Blew from the late 80’s.
With clothes, I’ve always been partial to bright and/or bold colors and designs. When I lived in the D.C. area, I had a blinding orange t-shirt and baseball hat which I wore whenever we ventured out to crowded outdoor events. No matter how many people were in our group, if we got split up, I was the lighthouse. Everyone could see me easily, so I was the meeting up spot no matter where I was. I was that dot on the signs that says YOU ARE HERE. (FYI! That was in the eon before cell phones, young folks.)
I wasn’t a fan of the landscape back there, especially the sky. But I do miss the boatload of “free” museums and events and monuments in that area. Our taxes pay for all those remarkable things, and I don’t mind that one bit.
And here’s a thing about the idea that government (and by “government” I mean city, county, state, federal) should be run like a business: The government is not a business. The government’s purpose is not to make money. The government’s purpose is to provide services and protection for its citizens. These things cost money. We citizens pay the costs because we are the ones who receive the services, protection, and benefits.
Commenting on last three tie-talks (not to be confused with Ted-talks):
Ur hitting ur stride again. Or maybe I’m out of my funk. Loved the squares & dots though I’m not a great fan of browns … or burnt orange or avocado green or harvest gold. You know, those 70’s colors. Where was I going with that? Hmm.
Visualizing the Easter egg tornado was giddifying. And nod to Skitter edifying.
Much love to you and your gang of four.
I love GIDDIFYING! Such a great expression!
Government is not a business–you are spot on! Your analysis is exactly why publicly funded schools, which includes charters, should not be run like a business. Charters are often run by corporations with the priority of making money, NOT educating children.
