Day 1 idea test

I was at the library and on the front page of today's Star Tribune is an article on 7th graders getting caught drinking before class, which reminded me of my neighbor's 13-yr old grand-daughter having a binge party while her gparents were out of town. It made me think of what ppl think their kids are doing when they leave for work. Even at 12 to 13 yrs old, they think their kids won't drink.

SO. I got a photo of the article since I coldn't cut it out of the library paper (we don't get the paper except sundays anymore... DUMB.), and I copied the headline onto my little tag. When I got home I went to a high-traffic stopsign in the area and attached the tag to it. It's so obvious someone's bound to notice it. I don't know what to do with it... but my idea is to tag events or ideas to put in public with an awareness phrase to make them think twice about even the most simple things.

Anyhoo, here's a picture of it so far and I'll check in the morning to see if it's still there. So idk, this is still just a starter idea. I really like it cuz it spread a message every day, and chances are someone's gunna tell somone else about what they found. So we'll see. I might stick with it :D (each picture will be in a seperate post cuz it won't let me do them all together.. idk why).
