Bikeride to the outer harborCategory: biking
The other day we took a family bikeride over to the outer harbor. The weather was so amazing. We saw the new empty business park where they already have a bikerack and toured to defunct new casino. I winder if the building will rust through before it is ever used? Leave it ti Buffalo to dilapidate a building before occupation.
We traveled up to the old water authority building. Someone left a bunch of nude playing cards all over the ground at the front steps. What a weird find.

I think those beams should be left there as a reminder to what happens when you "Half Step" or don't go all in or go Half assed...
-Now The Senecas claim bad economy so we stopped
-At the Time they where going to lose the lawsuit because even though it is their land it was bought for a casino and legally it has to be your land but those are two different kinds of lands
- Buffalo broke some law so or so claimed people who don't want the casino
-You can battle on if you think it would be good or not to have one...
-Now did the state think well we let them build this and get taxes then we get tax on reservation stuff.
All of this could have been stopped years ago By Legalizing Gambling. Now some say well there is this mob in the Falls you know those union guys... But also heard Trump payed people off so he would be safe... Now Back then they would have had Casinos before The Falls Canada you would get all the taxes. The Indians wouldn't have all this bargin with us crap ... And all the wasted time and money legal battles wouldn't go down ....
So leave it there as a reminder that this is what happens when people play politics instead of just doing what is right.....

Welcome to a dead cityCategory: buffalo
The dead trees lining the subway station at the new harbor/HSBC look even worse now. Nothing like dead EVERgreens with a crow to spruce up the place. If I went and chopped them down would it just be extreme community gardening?

Live gay sex showCategory: pets
The foaming at the mouth part is so funny. The little one looks pissed but I guess its better than being beaten up and Basra isn't really having sex with him, just humping his shell.

I think everyone looked because of the tittle even if they didn't really want to see... Kinda like that car crash thing... You look to see what is going on but you don't want to see the gore of like blood and brains.... I wonder how many people (HA!) we sad when it was the above picture and if anyone will get excited by that picture and bring others over to see it like when animals do it on TV?

This is a public service annoucement (PSA) :::link::: . This PSA was created for the Let's Move campaign :::link::: for the Ad Council :::link::: :::link:::
My assumption is that both Lamar the owner of billboard and Disney donated their services to the Ad Council.
-be our guest is part is a famous part of the Disney ads....For the theme park
-Dancing is a good way to be active and a candle that would normally would just stand there that moves and yes its fire moves also is a great example of getting people moving....
-Now I know nothing about the ads but I think it is aimed to get kids to move. Yeah you can watch the DVD you bought but ok now also go play.... This is how the play movement is currently. You sit down and do nothing all day as you watch football but you will see ads about the youth going out and playing and Nike has one also..... Back to the ads I don't know if they have other characters on other ads that appeal to kids but they could...
Hmm... a few questions come to mind. Is disney funding the letsmove campaign? It could be. So I won't be sure this is completely government money.
Who are the targets of this campaign? Most ostensibly, children. There are more obese children in the US than anywhere else on the planet (well.. maybe UK comes close) and it's likely to get worse in the next few years. But do these target children care about disney anymore? It seems a bit out of sync with what the target age kids really might be into these days.
Perhaps music icons or sports icons could have been a more attention-getting choice. By putting disney on, does the ad imply that it's perhaps an old-fashioned but fun way to live? That cannot altogether altogether appeal to kids who tend to not like anything old fashioned.
So I don't know. On the positive side, the font and colour are well done. I scarcely saw the disney characers before you pointed them out. The only thing REALLY prominent on that board is the message - which is good.
