not our Autumn Purple Ash

Bdot and I planted an Autumn Purple Ash in her backyard today… We are hoping it will provide some shade for her backyard. Apparently the tree should grow 3-4 feet a year. (hehe.. I first wrote a 3-4 feet a day…hehe, could you imagine if it did?) I’ll post another pic of the little tree once it has some leaves. Here is some more info on the Autumn Purple Ash.

I don’t know why CBC calls ‘Hockey Night in Canada’ by that name. It really should be called ‘Hockey Night in Toronto’ since the commentators are so sickeningly pro-Toronto. Listening to them you would think Belfour descended from heaven… Do the Loafs do anything wrong? Gah.

Bushisms

I apologize to his holiness for having to share space with Dubya… but these Bush quotes (Bushisms) are too fun not to share. Here are just a few:

“Security is the essential roadblock to achieving the road map to peace.”—Washington, D.C., July 25, 2003

“I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn’t here.”

“I think we agree, the past is over.”—On his meeting with John McCain, Dallas Morning News, May 10, 2000
