Also, did you notice the graffiti?<BR/><BR/>Painting? I never paint anymore. I just snap my fingers together and the genie pops out. I point to the wall and tell him the color and presto it changes right before my eyes. I thought everyone did it that way and then I see this photo.

I stopped by the Irish Emigrant pub in Seattle this evening and found a wet paint sign on the door jamb and the ownere busy washing the sidewalk in front of the pub with a power washer. Big day, this St. Paddy's Day!! Are you wearin' the green???<BR/><BR/>As for painting ... only last fall and I'm afraid there is more in my future.
