Bill on Marketing

Now here is an example of the type of green practices I can get in to. This home is located an hour from Adelaide (that would be Australia). For about $177,000 U.S., architect Max Pritchard created a 1,184 square foot sustainable house among the trees. Actually, it's more or less in the trees. Check out the web posting, it’s very interesting. http://archrecord.construction.com/residential/hotm/archives/0907HotM/default.asp

 

 

Sarah 'Krebsy' Adams Rules

These are the 10 best metro areas for quickest economic rebound, according to a recent article in Forbes Magazine. The Gross Domestic Product numbers are in billions. We like seeing Seattle on this list. Note that four of the 10 are in Texas, which is a very business-friendly state, or so Hurme is always telling me!

The Haircut. One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card with a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door. Then, a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
