"We’re not saying children’s book editing is the easiest gig in the world but we wouldn’t let the brainiac in charge of this counting book pump our gas."

One, twooo, three, fooour, five umm five and a half five..? Maybe because two of them are small we are to assume children will combine them? Nice to know that some of the educational children's book market takes its mission seriously. Numerical and clip-art masterpieces like this are out there, sharing their unique brand of wisdom with your kids. Funny, yes, maddening.. more. via

Read of their sadness here..
What makes the rainbow haired children frown?
Take down the toy tower..
I am actually surprised I feel this way. Years ago when the mural garden was destroyed for condos I and several other local girls looked like this bunch on the street, we even prompted a cop to apologize to us for something he couldn't stop (altho some of us were actually crying, not umm "pouting" :) ). I like quirky artistic things that add to the quirky artistic character of the EV but was never much of a fan of this tower. I hated seeing the toys strung up especially one really valuable one he could have had on ebay to help the garden raise money (I pointed it out once a long time ago but no one ever removed it, too high up I 'spose) and over time it just deteriorated in the open rain and snow. I see calling it a toy tower makes it sound cute, and to some it was, it's been there forever really, but all I liked about it were the kitties who would play in it. The rotting toys on it weren't spooky in a good way to me just sad. I hope they use the space for something great, how about install a greenhouse for a wonderful Corpse Flower!.. but yeah might be the huge minority here, the rainbow children would not agree but I am not unhappy to see it go. (Thanks Rick!)
