Today I learned that it is indeed very green where I am. My side of the fence is fantastic.
(No, I will not give details.)
If this were "Father Knows Best" or some other '50s sitcom, this is the part where the music would crescendo, followed by thunderous canned applause.
The characters would probably even indulge in a group hug, but I'm not willing to get that carried away.
fresh-baked at 05:24 PMOkay, so now it's "the grass is usually greener on the other side of many people's fences, unless it's not or unless the grass isn't green at all due to darkness or light with an incomplete spectrum."
Words to live by, folks.

Btw... the sunshine thing... some of us do like it. *grins* But it would be ever so much easier to enjoy if it didn't sear the fair-skinned among us to a crispy red.

Offered by: ram on August 10, 2002 1:02 AMNancy, the greenness is figurative. So is the grass.
Offered by: Jodi on August 9, 2002 11:03 PMAnd here I was picturing you in an old Brownstone, 2nd floor walkup. Jeesh, I live in outer suburbia and you're greener than we are!
Offered by: Nancy on August 9, 2002 10:55 PMOi, Jodi--can I come over to play?
Offered by: Sarah on August 9, 2002 9:46 PMWeird? Try seeing it from the inside of a goat!
Oh gosh... it's all coming back to me in waves. I can feel my vision blurring... and that sound... that bleating sound... and the smell of digesting vegetation...
Thanks for dredging up painful memories.
Offered by: Pete on August 9, 2002 9:44 PMThat's what happens when you have good grass, man.
Offered by: Jodi on August 9, 2002 9:21 PMThis place is getting weird.
Offered by: aaron on August 9, 2002 9:16 PMMy problem is that if it is too dark, I sometimes get confused and I think that I have been swallowed up by a giant goat.
So sunlight can be reassuring.
Offered by: Pete on August 9, 2002 8:17 PMCongrats on your discovery, Jodi. Bravo! Now pass some of the good stuff my way!
Offered by: Joan on August 9, 2002 7:36 PMSunlight is highly overrated. I shun the sun as much as possible. Give me nightfall, pre-dawn, and darkness, always.
Offered by: Jodi on August 9, 2002 7:09 PMHah to the one called "Pete." My world will be in total darkness for many of your earth centuries. But when the Bright Time comes, there will be much feasting.
Offered by: Jamie on August 9, 2002 6:05 PMI think I speak for most of my nation when I say that the grass is pretty black here at the moment. But then, so are the buildings, cars, sky, and pretty much anything that is not being illuminated by a source of light other than the sun.
I'll have the last laugh in the morning though, when I get five hours more sunlight than you lot. As the prophet once said, "Hah!"
Offered by: Pete on August 9, 2002 5:35 PMDamn it, that's definitely greener than where I am.
