They're changing the wall paper in the bathrooms at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.

Changing.
Wallpaper.
WALLpaper.
Changing.

People have been taking little bits, apparently for years.

Wallpaper.

Granted, it is cute as all get out- monkeys in trees, strong colors: green greens, brown browns, all that.

We also have monuments. Battlefields. Churches where liberty and death were discussed.

And wallpaper.  How many Virginians does it take to change a lightbulb? Five - one to replace the bulb and four to talk about how glorious the old bulb was.
