Downtown was hopping tonight and still is with Mayor Peterson's anual BBQ Grill Cook Off. mmmm did it all smell good. Familes were out. Friends were hanging around. It was alive and happy. The city continues to do so well with keeping the downtown active.
But why oh why did the municipal power plant choose to burn tires tonight? It could've stuck with the coal just for this night. Stacy and I live a block or two awya from the power plant. Somedays the smell is unbearable. Why would they stink out the town on an exciting night with visitors from other cities?
Will Wyandotte be burning tires during the Street Art Fair? God I would hope not.
Ask why?

Mae Moore - Bohemia song
Good song from the 90's. I remember when I had all my hair back in the nineties.

Lyrics to 1992 Bohemia by Mae Moore
I missed the bus, yeah, I did it again
That's when I first met the Parisian
Poet, angel it was his idea
I take my place in Bohemia
I've got a view nobody's seen
I read Burroughs but I keep it clean
I go places inside my head
With an eye on tomorrow to keep my soul fed
I came here of my own accord
I came to witness the unexplored
Green valleys and a fertile sea
I came to rediscover the real me
I like it here at least so far
I've got no plans of saying au revoir
Elevated visions when I close my eyes
Stretched out underneath these amaranth skies
Make me feel...
Closer than I've ever been to being alive
Since I've arrived in Bohemia
Late afternoon is a time to dream
I like to listen to Coltraine's "A Love Supreme"
Then I leave my rented room and I walk
Through the fading light down streets that talk
I always meet someone I could call a friend
Prejudice is something we must transcend
Coming into season this world will flower
With the power of love, not the love of power
And I feel, closer than I've ever been
To being alive since I've arrived in Bohemia
Independent spirit... temper us inside
With the strength to live a life fulfilled
And not denied.

I tried to find a better sound version, but didn't. I'll keep looking. I think this is from 1993 ish? I don't quite remember. I like this song, which is why I post it here on the blog with the other ones.

MI Courts Failed System Report from WXYZ
All parents make mistakes. But in Michigan, one mistake could cost you your child…and critics say it’s happening all too often because we have one of the worst laws in the country when it comes to how and when the state can take your children.

Graphic Design Project
So. Stacy and I are working on a grueling project right now. We're not complaining, we actually are enjoying it. It is a freelance project for a very large company. We're hired to graphic design numerous ad spots. What makes it complicated is coordinating with each of their individual clients.
It's something we do well. Stacy and I work extremely well together. I'm not sure if there is anyone else I could work with like her and I do. Now if only I could get her to clean the house and cook me dinner at the same time. lol
It's been tricky to juggle our own Dollars & Sense clients during this job. But it's been working out just fine. Our website http://www.mediagrump.com/ is taking off. We are getting calls from Florida, New Jersey, Ohio and of course right here in Detroit and across Michigan.
Our goal is to get a new car. Something nice that my 2 little girls aren't ashamed of. :( Right now we're putting around in a "puddle jumper". It could be worse.
I have a new website to build for one of our favorite clients here in Wyandotte. Downriver area has been so good to us. I love it here. Our flat is just a couple blocks away from downtown. W can view the Detroit river from our windows. We have a new Tim Horton's! Gotta love it. Their coffee is the best!
