Beloved Macon veterinarian and rose gardener Eddie Hudspeth dies at 86 - The Telegraph
Tuesday, May 30, 2017Lord made that would make me want to come to work,” Hudspeth told The Telegraph in a 2013 interview.In that same interview, he recalled a time in the late 1960s when he helped mend a hooker’s cheetah. He couldn’t recall the particulars, but the animal belonged to a prostitute of some description who was part of a traveling troupe that was at a house of ill repute in downtown. The cheetah’s leg was broken.Somehow the police got involved and hauled the big cat to Hudspeth’s place — apparently with the lady of the evening’s blessings.“Those things are built for speed,” Hudspeth joked of the cheetah.His wit wasn’t all that left a lasting impression. Those roses of his, of which gave away almost as many as he grew, intrigued him more than his animal patients.“I’d rather talk roses than anything,” he once said.In a 2005 Telegraph article about his garden, Hudspeth traced his fondness for plants and for animals to his Early County childhood. His dad was a dairyman, his mother a florist.“I promised myself that I would never put another carnation in a funeral arrangement,” Hudspeth, who was 74 at the time, said . “That was one part of the floral business I didn’t care for. I don’t really like Easter lilies. I guess it’s the older I get, the closer to death I get.”Roses, though, were another story.On Friday evening, his son said, “He thought it was impossible to look at the beauty of a rose and not believe there was a God.”A visitation was set for Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Macon, with a funeral service at 11 a.m.Telegraph archives contributed to this report. http://www.macon.com/news/local/article152958399.html
Dingy Aphrodisiac: An Intrepid Couple Explores the Romantic Highs of Dallas' Lowest Motels - Dallas Observer
Tuesday, March 14, 2017Eloise running around the Plaza, while motels have Psycho’s Norman Bates gutting guests when he’s not peeping at them. Hotels are where you bring an escort, while motels are for bargaining with hookers. They reek of suicide, homicide, insecticide. Motels also bring me back to the cruelest time in my life. When I was 17 my teenage boyfriend kicked me out of our shared apartment and dropped me off at a hotel in Plano, where my sister was staying with her two children. As I left his car with my one pathetic suitcase full of nothing but notebooks, he said, “I actually mean this, good luck.” I slept on the Hearthside Extended Stay’s floor for a few weeks, or in a urine-soaked bed with my two-year-old nephew, all the while avoiding the drunk old man on the second floor who repeatedly invited me to have a beer in his room. Like in many extended stay hotels, entire families of unfavorable credit or dubious backgrounds lived there semi-permanently. Many had been stuck in this limbo of a lifestyle for years, and their hopelessness showed as they literally planted roots in their humble units, evident in the dusty flowers which hung depressed off the windows. My nephew was pragmatic enough to escape the room three times in the middle of the night, despite management’s attempts at safety, and he’d crossed the street to a field of coyotes in his diaper.There was a family of Jehovah’s witnesses on the second floor whose children knew an alarming amount of lyrics to gangsta rap songs. One time the mother came back from the salon proudly showing off her new mullet haircut. When my little sister took her own life a few months later, it was the mulleted Jehovah’s witness who delivered the message to my older sister.I’m a middle child of middle looks and middle intelligence, and middle-of-the-road political views. I know from personal experience that nothing lacks more charm than mediocrity. I can’t think of anything more boring than staying at La Quinta, with its 3-star comfort and modesty. So I reach back to the frightful days of my teens to revel in masochistic nostalgia, except this time I get to return as a victorious outsider. We don’t need a trend to validate our taste, but we want to know if there are other motelers out there. An online search uncovers no web pages or support groups. A consensus among our friends indicates that there’s not a huge trend of bad motel enthusiasts. It appears that most people prefer to upgrade their lodgings and aren’t interested in paying to expose themselves to a new ecosystem of unknown bacteria. I speak to Dr. Jessica Tartaro, a psychologist who specializes in orgasmic intimacy, who has the fortune of no... http://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/an-intrepid-couple-explores-the-romantic-highs-of-dallas-lowest-motels-9136882

A Flower Display in Burlington Honored the COVID-19 Dead - Seven Days
Wednesday, March 31, 2021Vermonters who have died from COVID-19 since the disease struck the state nearly a year ago. "It often feels like we're just talking about numbers and tallies," said creator Jayson Munn, a florist who mainly works weddings and other events. "I thought this was a great opportunity to do it in the public square." Burlington was one of about 80 cities nationwide that hosted an art installation as part of the Floral Heart Project. Created by New York City-based artist Kristina Libby, the idea was to designate March 1 as a national day of mourning to publicly grieve those "lost to and suffering from COVID-19." As of Tuesday, more than 515,000 Americans have died. Munn said one woman he talked to had lost her husband to the disease. She told him that visiting the flower memorial had been the first time she'd publicly grieved his death; both she and Munn "started bawling," he said. He gave her a rose. "It was a really touching, touching moment," Munn said. Daniel "D.J." Boyd of Wilmington was walking down Church Street when he saw a crowd by the display and thought, Gee, only in Burlington do you see a bunch of roses in the street and everyone just walking around taking pictures. Boyd walked over himself and read the sign that Munn had erected explaining the display, "and it just struck me," he said. His uncles, twins Leon and Cleon Boyd, had died of COVID-19 early last April, just six days apart. "It's amazing," Boyd said of the display. "It's a good gesture. It puts it into perspective, you know?" Boyd walked over to Munn and told him he'd lost his uncles. Munn picked up two long-stemmed roses from the bricks, and then handed them to Boyd. https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/a-flower-display-in-burlington-honored-the-covid-19-dead/Content?oid=32450871

With major events being canceled, a lot of work and profit has dried up. However, one Pittsburgh florist, Anne Dickson, has decided to put her skills and time to good use.Inspired by fellow florist, New Yorker Louis Miller, who’s been creating some stunning “flower flashes” to brighten up New York City, Dickson decided she wanted to spread some floral joy in her own community, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.She started by sharing her gratitude with health workers for all their hard work. So the owner of Fox and the Fleur florists went along to Shadyside’s Family House, where patients and their families can stay together. She brought some bright blooms to decorate the facade of the house with an impressive installation. She also tagged her work “F&F [Heart] Pittsburgh #flower power” in chalk on the sidewalk in front of the home, and added it to her Instagram account to spread a little more joy.From there Dickson created more imp... https://aleteia.org/2021/03/24/florist-brightens-her-city-with-gorgeous-floral-installations/
