Three of my lovely Great Neices posing after a riotous ride in Maize. We had a Family Easter Parade in a MS nieghborhood with youngins in the art car and the teenagers in the golf cart.

A Whole Foods experience

Last night when I was leaving the store I noticed a couple looking at my car. They'd parked right next to me. Spent 30 minutes having a great conversation with the couple from Mississippi. A collegue from Dyersburg State showed up because she recognized my car. Lots of laughter. A great encounter.

maize gets a new spring makeover

Over spring break I modified the kind of corn painted on my car. It is now Indian Corn.... with the diversity to withstain drought, bugs, heat and anything else that might keep it from growing.

I also changed the message to a more positive statement.

Last week

I'm creating an amazing BUZZ with "Maise" the car that looks like corn on the cob. Last week a kid from Whitestation High School took photos for his video project at school. I was parked in the Fresh Market parking lot. I'm afraid I was a little too intense with my description of Monsanto. The kid was doing a video on corn and didn't know who Monsanto was!!!




While waiting to pick up my great neice at St. Louis School on Thursday a bikerstopped and asked if he could take a picture. He didn't need any kernals of truth. He was from Wisconsin and knew all about Monsanto.
