Micro-House Built in Sustainable Community
Beautiful Micro-House Built in Sustainable Community For Formerly Homeless Folks
Every month at our Treehugger meeting I report on what's happening with the newsletter and what people are reading, and it is clear that readers love Kim's tiny houses and Elizabeth's gardens. I also round up all the mail I receive, most of which is so lovely and supportive and just makes our meeting, we all thank you. We also thank those who complain about all the tiny houses or that we are not covering the serious issues; we get it, and are looking for balance. It's morning, I don't want to ruin anyone's breakfast.

Gifted Dogs Learn New Words Rapidly
Gifted Dogs Learn New Words Rapidly
I am sorry, I saw the title and immediately thought of the old joke:
 
A man walks into a bar with small dog under his arm and sits down at the counter, placing the dog on the stool next to him. The bartender says, "Sorry, pal. No dogs allowed." The man says, "But this is a special dog – he talks!" "Yeah, right," says the bartender. "No, wait," says the man. "I'll prove it." He turns to the dog and asks, "What's on top of a house?" "Roof!" says the dog. "Listen, pal..." says the bartender. "Wait," says the man. He turns to the dog again and asks, “what does sandpaper feel like?” "Ruff!" exclaims the dog. "Quit wasting my time and get out of here," says the bartender. "One more chance," pleads the man. Turning to the dog again, he asks, "Who was the greatest baseball player that ever lived?" "Ruth!" barked the dog. "Okay, that's it!" says the bartender, and physically throws both man and dog out the door. Turning to the man, the dogs shrugs and says, "Maybe I should have said DiMaggio?"
