"Beautify and save some lives"
“When I’m done with [my landscaping project], everyone in my area will be a bit more confident. Everybody’s really happy about it. I just want to make it a lot nicer so that people have a little bit more self-esteem. Before it was all weeds and terrible. So, I dug up all those weeds, and I am going to replant it with nice flowers. I’m going to make it really pretty. You know, it’s like a guy that’s got old clothes on. Same thing. Now, I’m taking off the old grass and putting new nice grass. It’s going to be real pretty.”
“When somebody looks at the orchid, they can’t help but be taken to a place that is nice. We got to get the aloha back out there. And the purple orchid is the only thing that is effective like that. [Sometimes] I take a bunch of flowers, and I ‘accidentally’ purposefully drop them here and there. And when someone helps me pick them up, no one can hand them back to me without saying a nice little thing about them. It always brings back a nice memory. So, it’s like the most effective thing that you can put on the road that will change people from being the way they are without actually talking to them.”
