Er...does this strike anyone else as a little odd?







Maybe it was the result of a misplaced ad or maybe someone has an agenda. Most likely the former. But that's only half my beef. Once I clicked on the banner ad (about laundry detergent?) it took me to a Liberty Mutual-related website that talked about doing the right thing? Um...Whiter whites-->laundry-->doing the right thing-->Liberty Mutual?-->Arph..?

I should send this to failblog.org

I hate vinyl siding, but I liked this book



Let me first start off by saying: I HATE subdivisions and cul de sacs. But this book that I just finished reading made me think differently about them.

Read this book if you were ever curious about any of the following:
-why all houses in new developments look the same
-what's the big deal about Levittown(s)
-urban versus suburban living
-or if you have any interest at all about how housing can influence society

Bottomline: The Last Harvest was perfect mix of facts and narrative, exactly how I like my non-fiction.
