Thanks for joining in, Ladylong, and reminding us of that funny post from Chuckie. By the way, I have a feeling the guys dealing with the whale sat around drinking a few beers before they hit on the explosion idea, and therefore were intoxicated with more than testosterone. LOL!

I took a second look at the photo and I can see now that the planter boxes don't cover the entire yard. There appears to be grass between the boxes and the street, and mulch around the boxes. If they zoomed out and got a picture of the entire yard instead of just the boxes, it might not appear so much like a landscape nursery. I still don't think it's pretty, but if the boxes aren't as large as they appear in the picture and are only a fraction of the front yard instead of all of it, it's probably not as bad as the photo makes it look. Like I said, too much is unknown and the media is playing up the sensational angle. Yes, I think people should have the right to grow things on their own land, but I also think people should respect their neighbors' rights as well. The article quotes two neighbors, one for and one against. And that's probably the same reaction they would get if they planted all grass, or all flowers. Can't please everyone. Bottom line for me is what it would do to property values and there is no indication of that in the article.

Actually, oddly enough it was probably good that 911 was called... sounds like he was out of control at the sub shop... just that he didn't realize "he" was the problem. Sounds like he needs some medication and some education... probably in that order.

Stupid on so many levels. Tulsa had one of its idiots arrested earlier this month for making meth in a Wal-Mart. Here is the People of Wal-Mart link for those who haven't already seen the story. Here is a link that might be useful: The Meth Lab
