Plants That Impressed Me In 2011: Pt. I
Leucothoe fontabesiana ‘Girard’s Rainbow’ Leucothoe, doghobble or fetterbush, is a relatively rare shrub in the Ericaceae, or heath family (one that also includes Pieris, the blueberry family Vaccinium, as well as Kalmia and the showy Rhododendron family of shrubs) that is native to the mountains and forests of the southeast United States and the Mid-Atlantic region.

Hugo was an excellent film.
Here’s my generally spoiler-free review. The film is much quainter than the trailers make it out to be, which disappointed me only slightly, as the trailers do make it out to be solely about the mystery of the heart shaped-key and the automaton. Having not read the source material, it planted the idea that the movie would entail an adventure of secret rooms, breaking into museums, more like...

If I Was A Multi-Billionaire Part I: Knock It...
1. Major urban…reforestation. Well, downsizing. Both? I’ve been making floral arrangement deliveries at my job across the Baltimore/Baltimore County region (Dundalk today..) and Baltimore is…special. It’s got a lot of character but it’s pretty rough, and a main problem it only looks so rough is because of all the abandoned row homes and other rather large spaces just...

The Runaways: South Florida is all about... →
randomc: I’m not talking about the people or the buildings, but rather the landscape. I’ve been visiting South Florida for years, ever since we moved away from that place, but it wasn’t until my last trip that I realized just how nice the landscaping was. If you’ve been following me for any amount of… This is sort of the philosophy that the homesteading movement sort of has and...
