More of notes, rather than blog. But that may change

No one is looking at this blog yet, and it is more of notes to myself, than a traditional blog. But there is something about writing, and committing to paper, submitting to the web that means it is serious.

I try to concentrate on public grafitti, such as in parks, on mailboxes, public poles etc, because I think it is the City's job to also try to clean up the graffiti on its property, and it is only going to happen when pushed.
