Day Fifty Nine

Something has been on my mind. I am thinking of exploring the option of a community garden. I am actually wondering if it would be possible to set up a company/not for profit organisation that goes around and assists to establish community gardens around the state/country. I think they are fantastic for building community spirit and encouraging people to work together. They also promote healthy eating and there is nothing like proper veggies rather than the crap from the supermarket.

I am wondering how I could go about it. I am actually scared to take it anywhere because I have had good ideas previously and when I have written to people for support they tell me to bugger off. The last one was my idea to set up a fund for driver training for new drivers. I even spoke to a driver education place and with the pricing they were willing to provide we could send approx 1800 young drivers to advanced driver training courses for $100k. How is that not worth government investment? They waste billions on crap we don't need, but this could save lives and if it saves one life then it is worth every cent.

I might see who wants to get involved and help me out. I reckon if I can set one up in one community then I might have a better chance. Time to write to the council I think. I have looked into it and there are a few community gardens about but they are not widespread.

THose who know me, know that I hate the way Apple bleats on about everyone who brings out a rectangular phone is copying them. To put in prespective for those is doubt, here is an Iphone 3GS (the model that was current when the Galxy S2 was released), the Galaxy S2 and a whiteboard marker. Maybe Apple should sue the makers of the whtieboard marker because it looks more like and Iphone than the Samsung does,
