Never before (as far as I know) has one of my murals been messed with. I can’t say that anymore.
A couple of weeks ago, some stupid hon-yock threw an egg into the sky of my Ivanhoe mural. So, I told the librarian to have county maintenance see if it would wash off first, and if not, I’d go retouch it.
Eggs harden and that’s that, so I took a trip to Ivanhoe.
The damage was pretty subtle.
Have a closer look at the shiny streaks and drips:
All better now
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KH!
P.S. The sign also got spruced up, AFTER the stump and log it refers to got cut down and chipped up. (“We’re from the government and we’re here to help you”.)

Your “P.S.” reminds me of when greedy developers decimate an entire forest to build cheap, ticky-tacky condominiums and then have the gall to name their development “Forest Glen” or “Pine Grove.”
Wow, Sharon, you have nailed the naming game. . . so phony-baloney.
It looks like the mural cleaned up beautifully, but come on! You shouldn’t have had to do that. That’s so typical of government that the sign about the tree got revamped.
Michelle, I told the librarian to call me anytime the mural needed help, because I know the culture of Ivanhoe and also the bureaucratic nature of the county library. When it comes to the sign, I think there are too many levels of employees, and the ones who actually know or care about Ivanhoe are low on the totem pole. Sigh. Typical government, indeed.
