Part of me says, “as long as you come back home with more money than when you left, it’s a win.”
Another part of me says, “Screw China. Why are we continuing to kowtow to a country that is systematically conquering the United States (and the rest of the world) without firing a single shot. They own our debt, they own our petroleum production, they…[Read more]

OK, so following your logic, if unionized workers do not make more than non-unionized workers, why do we need unions…?

The governor cannot prohibit collective bargaining rights of the citizens, only unions… citizens still maintain their rights that falls under free speech, peaceful assembly, pursuit of happiness and all that good stuff… Unions are not citizens and do not have the same rights.
The fact is, out of the top 10 contributors to political campaigns 7…[Read more]

hhhhmmm… interesting… shaving as a metaphor for soulless design… “I shave and I pave”
Instead, “I’ll let it grow and not mow”…
Reminds me of one of the greatest songs ever… listen to the lyrics…

I’m not even going to touch that one… there are just too many ways I could get myself (and my beard) into trouble… it’s a virtual cacophony of one-liners just waiting to happen…

Once you see me in action there is no way you could confuse me for a communist. I hate to share, love competition and firmly believe in the powers of hierarchy, social order and free-market enterprise.
That website is awesome! Thank you for providing me with another distraction…
There is no way I’m shaving my beard when I run for president! My…[Read more]

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! One of my favorites!

no, no, no… not speedo, speed suit… roller skating in a speedo is just sick and wrong… nobody wants to see that…
I was thinking more along these lines… I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for so you’ll have to use your imagination and in the meantime I’m going to have bust out the sewing machine to make my own neon speed suit to…[Read more]

I want to be the Rick Rubin of Landscape Architecture…
Tom Johnson doesn’t have quite the same ring to it…Thomas James… James Johnson… James Thomas…T-James…T2J… Thom Johanson… John Thomas… Who knows…? I’ll just work on the beard for now…

Good. Let them strike. Then hire non-union employees to fill their positions. Problem solved. Well played Governor… 
 

Here you go…
 

 
Nah… Just kidding… My Dad was a stock broker back in the 80’s (a very stressful job) and he used to have a “don’t panic” button on his computer screen. It was pretty cool… didn’t always work but it was cool…
 

I too have some gray hairs in my beard. I kind of like it though… I can’t wait for it to be completely gray so I can grow out my eyebrows and the tips of my ears like one of those kung-fu masters from the 70’s… that is going to be awesome… I’m going to design the hell out of some landscapes then…
In the mean time I was thinking about…[Read more]

Ooops, I didn’t mention that I have lightning bolts shaved into my beard, like Vanilla Ice? Does that make a difference?
Yeah, it could all be a set up… the whole world could be a set up, to the point that set-ups become irrelevant, tests mean nothing and reality ceases to exist for both the test giver and the test taker. Don’t forget, the test…[Read more]

Good News! Land8Lounge has had two new bearded members join within the last 3 hours! One of them is a “gardener” and the other one is Canadian… Is somebody trying to tell me something?

Yeah, my brother’s wife thinks that guys with beards “are hiding something”. I guess all guys prior to the invention of the safety razor were hiding something, based on that logic… perception is a funny thing… so if I take a razor to my face every day I’m “clean-cut” and an upstanding citizen but if I allow my facial hair to grow to a…[Read more]

Have you seen my beard? 🙂

MauiBob – Yeah, I sure do… too much time… know anyone who’s hiring? I don’t know if the pushover thing is true. Some companies do have a no facial hair policy. Shaving you can control. Your stature you cannot… fortunately, I don’t have any issues with my height… Do you?
FYI: What are you talking about? I didn’t fit in with the group…?…[Read more]

lol You know it! The hair on my head can’t handle my elevated testosterone levels so it migrated to safer grounds. By allowing it to flourish on my face it creates a balance, a follicle harmony, if you will. That, and being 33 years old and sedentary, the chin has somehow multiplied. The beard enables me to hide that second chin and redraw my…[Read more]

Check this out… I haven’t had a chance to play around with it yet but it sounds pretty robust, uses AutoCAD commands, the dwg format and works on both Mac and PC. Oh, and it’s FREE! Brought to you by the good people at Dassault Systems (SolidWorks)
