I recently heard that our town is trying to spend tax dollars on buying art to hang in the local jail. I’m not sure how I feel about that. A lot of people are in an uproar, saying that the prisoners don’t deserve anything extra, or special, and art falls into that category. However, I’ve heard that the art isn’t going to be displayed where the prisoners see it, but rather out in the front, where visitors come. When I picture a child going to visit their dad or mom in prison, then yeah, I guess it wouldn’t be a bad thing for it to look pleasant for them. But, no, I don’t think any of our tax money should go for more extras for prisoners. They already get DIRECTV cable, I heard. And honestly, if you ask me, prisoners don’t need to watch television. Mostly because I think we are already spending a ton of money to keep prisoners fed, clothed, housed, etc. I think books are reasonable, because unused books can be donated and not cost tax money.

I was looking through the extensive collection of pink ceiling fans at become.com.  It really is extraordinary the selection.  There are some that look like flowers spinning overhead.  Ever shade of pink you could imagine.  My favorite is the 52″ Craftmade Bloom Pink and Green Ceiling Fan with Light.  So pretty!  Wouldn’t it look just lovely in a little girl’s room.  Of mine, for that matter.

No matter if you want a hot pink ceiling fan or a pink ceiling fan, they have so many to choose from.

They also have a lot of clothing.  I love their selection of Michael Kors leather jackets.  Check them out for a great price.  I’ve even seen one for only $96, but that must be a sale or something.

Back when I was looking for apts I found this site called RentCalgary.com. It was pretty easy to use and packed with rentals. Visitors to RentCalgary.com are people looking to rent a home in Calgary, Alberta. So for you Canadians, this is a great resource.

I’m not sure how the rental market is in Canada right now, but here it’s cut throat. You have to find an apt and put your deposit asap or you lose it. The more sites you use to find a good place the better your chances are of find a good place and before anyone else. So check it out and good luck.
