Today I was strolling from my afternoon coffee pick up at San Francisco Coffee House to the Chevron to get my NYTimes and thinking “What in the world am I going to blog about today? I’m so excited that Paper Source just opened up the street. God I hate it when SF is out of The NYTimes.” I looked up from our jacked-up sidewalks here in Virginia-Highland and I spied this magic bus parked right around the block from my house. I snapped some quick shots from my iPhone while listening to the Scissor Sisters at the same time on it, so the quality lacks a little something. What really cracked me up about the picture above when I downloaded it is that the bus farmers are getting water from the church’s hose up on the roof, and it looks like the sun is shining from the heavens above to help the plants on top of it! Too bad the stupid minivan is in the shot.

This is the best way to grab some attention I’ve seen in awhile. It certainly stopped me in my tracks. As soon as I got home, I looked up The White House Organic Farm Project immediately. Here’s the opening to their mission statement:

To the 44th President of the United States of America:

We, the people, respectfully request that an organic farm be planted on the grounds of The White House, at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC.

The White House Organic Farm (aka TheWhoFarm) will be a model for healthy, economical and sustainable living everywhere. It will serve as an educational tool and economic aid, and as a means to provide food security in the Nation’s Capitol. It will reconnect the Office of the Presidency to the self-sufficient agricultural roots of America’s Founding Fathers.

A quick google search revealed that the project is getting the media’s attention in every city they visit. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that they are traveling in a stacked upside down bus crazy thing. Brilliant! I love it! To read more about The White House Farm Project and to sign their petition, click here.
