those trees...

So there I was with my son at the playground and there are half a dozen trashcans spread throughout the area, do people use them? No. It's a brand new playground and people cannot keep anything nice. I was the only mom who was picking up garbage, trying to set a good example for my son. And these Greenwich moms were looking at me like I'm some crazy garbage lady. Sod off! This is the problem with Americans, and I hate making generalizations, but we as a country think it's everyone else's problem. It's time to step up to the plate, quit complaining, start accepting the blame and do something about it.

The stolen getaway car

WELSH actor Rhys Ifans has had his car stolen by burglars who fished his keys through his letterbox.

Ifans, 32, fell victim to thieves who used a fishing rod to hook his car keys off a sideboard in the hallway of his London home. They made off with his £20,000 top-of-the-range Mini Cooper, police said.

The actor was said to have been asleep upstairs at the time.

A police spokesman said, "It's never safe to leave keys and valuables in plain sight and close to a letterbox or other opening."

Rhys lives in Notting Hill - the area of London which was the setting for the hit film of the same name in which Rhys played Hugh Grant's Y-front-wearing flatmate Spike in the film.

All right then. No info on the old painting. That's ok, one day I'll hear about it. Maybe it's hanging up in some bar in the UK(I could only hope)
