exit only

Oh, I don't know....you 2 must have WAY better green credentials than me. The sight of both those "domiciles" (especially the trailer) makes me very depressed. Not that i need 3,000 square feet or anything, but those are both past my happiness levels. On the other hand, I did really enjoy this article: http://www.economist.com/science/tq/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11999259. Something along the lines of that guys cape house (or other style) is about as much as i can stomach. J
