Let's send the second guy to Congress.

Love the sounds from May 2010.

Tough time to be putting that (or much of anything) on the real estate market. Even worse time to get government funding to do something like that; maybe the least propitious time in the last 100 years. Too bad, I agree with you, Pan.

"McPhee, now a Princeton University professor, said in a rare interview that Buzby's was instrumental in his work. His book is credited with saving from development a million acres of rare "pygmy" pines, cedar swamps, and cranberry bogs. It was at Buzby's, McPhee says, that he met many of the...

Great job. Makes me want to do a trip up there one of these days.

Here, here. Puts me in mind of Onion's phony ad campaign for new Marlboro "Earth" cigarettes: "Remember, with every pack you smoke, you're attacking global warming, right at the source!"

So then the glaciers melted and the high and dry Pines became low and wet?

Spung-Man, I grant you a lifetime license to verb in my presence. Ditto the word "katabatic." Dave

Spung-Man, I love it when you verb. HH

Thanks, Jerseyman.

Pretty amazing.

That's very interesting, thanks, Ben.

Great series, thanks for the good "reads." So his wife was buried an Anglican and his son a Quaker: was he an Anglican/Quaker/anything?

Thanks, Guy. My client's a construction manager with whom I've worked for > 20 years. He has the right perspective; even though he gets enormous pressure to hit budget target, he said "I want to get this right. I don't want something like that on my conscience." Not everyone takes that point of...
