Lady Bird Johnson, RIP

Lady Bird Johnson passed away this afternoon at 4:12 pm. We should remember her not for being the wife of LBJ, but for being a pioneer of the environmental movement in the U.S. In Texas she'll be remembered for her work in promoting and studying native wildflowers, culminating in the establishment of the National Wildflower Research Center in Austin, TX. (Now renamed the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center).

Central Texans also have Lady Bird to thank for the hike and bike trail along town lake, as well as the spectacular fields of wildflowers seen every spring and summer along Texas highways. Her work also ushered in the modern vogue of native planting in this area. It's no longer uncommon to see private properties planted entirely with native species. There's a home near my office with a lawn entirely composed of wildflowers. With all the rain we've had this year, it's lovely.

In many ways, Texas sucks. But you can't drive in the Texas hillcountry during the springtime and not thank both God and Lady Bird for the gifts she's given all of us.

Johnson was 94.

Join the pack!! Dogs Against Romney

Hi, I'm Rusty. My owner helped me start this blog after I found out Mitt Romney abuses his dogs. I never thought anybody would really look at my site, but I was wrong! Here's a list of just a few of the blogs that have linked to Dogs Against Romney so far.

Please leave a comment when you vist and let me know if you are going to link to my blog. I'll list you here!

Thanks for all your support!

Rusty

Of course there are only occasional dogs at Plushlife, but teh kittenzzz are appalled at ANY car riding related program activities, so they're down with Rusty.

Random Signage

I took this photo just for Eli. He's better at this kind of thing than I am.

Guitar Town

Damn. I am just not in touch with my city at all. While wandering around with Flory this weekend, we saw these guitar sculptures up all over the place.

Near Guero's on South Congress.

On Congress near the State Theatre.

Also on Congress.

They're from the GuitarTown Austin Project, and they're all over the place. Have been for months. Guess I've been distracted. Yeah, that's it!! that's the ticket.

Eventually they'll be auctioned off for charity to benefit the Austin Museum of Art, The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, American Youth Works, and the Austin Children's Museum.
