In the book A Supremely Bad Idea, there is one part in which a developer says "The rules are very strict. At what point do you also need to serve the habitat of human beings as well?" (A Supremely Bad Idea is a nonfiction book.) The developer's statement is laughable. Statistics from the book says that in 2007, Marco Island (where she works) was the 7th fastest growing area in the US from 2000-2006. It is one of the most developed spots in Florida. A 2000 census calculated a population of 14879, with 14871 housing units. The three needs of a human being are already solved: there is a house for everybody, and obviously there are groceries and a water-treatment facility.Using the Internet, we learned that 83% of land and 98% of usable agriculture and grazing land on Earth is affected by humans in some way. Human habitat is more than served, proved by these statistics!

Hello! This is a short post honoring a friend (who shall remain unamed, as we seriously fear for her safety) of the BABCE directors that has donated money to the organization BatCon as a holiday gift.
Thank you, BABCE Directors Okay, so if we haven't told you already, you know now. We live in the more northern part of Northern Hemisphere, but not so north. Anyway, at this time of year, there should be some snow (and yesterday there was indeed a smattering of frost), but other than the snow in November, THERE'S NOTHING. Indeed, a member of one of our families yesterday questioned "Is there only snow in January and February?" She did not believe the answer that there should be some snow in December.
