Question: Will anyone read an architecture / cycling / global warming / peak oil / housing bubble bursting blog? Answer: Don't care, therapy is therapy. Looks like it's gonna be a long hard slog, uphill, into the gale, with rusty gears and a bad attitude.
Always on the search for new ideas and signs of progress, Howard came across this goofy presentation of a very good idea:

I try to work as little as possible, but when I do, I bill at $75 an hour. I'm worth more, but illegal immigrants are holding down wages. And yeah, that's a picture of me... only I'm taller and younger. You want to believe me, don't you?

One Wal-Mart, two convenience stores, several car dealerships, some banks (not mine), three schools (I already graduated), and a golf course (I am not a memeber there). That is all that is within two miles of my house. BUT, there is a nice coffee shop THREE miles away and it is worth the bike ride to get to. :) On weekends I ride to one of two swimming pools, both are only 5 miles away.
Our cities, or rather I should say our suburbs have been designed on the implicit assumption that everyone living there has a car... or rather I should say as many cars as working occupants in the home. Living In America is about to become more difficult, challenging, and expensive as our ever-decreasing supply of gas dwindles. Supply and Demand ain't just a test question in college Econ class. People living in suburbs will have to reevaluate and revise their living choices... or pony up the extra dough. It might take a few months, a few years, or a decade, but stuff's gonna change -- drastically -- and lots of people are gonna be... inconvenienced. Today's bicyclists have a tremendous head-start.
