Happy Saturday!! The weather’s certainly nice for working in the garden this weekend, but it’s so so wet! I’d love to amend beds, pull out finished plants and get ready for fall, but I’m afraid I’d drown in the process…
For more, how about you follow me on Twitter?
- In case you weren’t sure how hot it was, here’s a map to show you.
- This is one of the coolest pieces of multi-use furniture I’ve ever seen.
- Don’t let the House get away with adding the “Monsanto rider” to the farm bill.
- I don’t think it will hurt truly local retail, but Amazon’s same day delivery plans could seriously hurt the big box stores.
- An awesome solar hot water heater that doesn’t require an extra tank or any plumbing!

Wow, that’s some news about Amazon. Can you imagine how that’s going to change the business model? I wonder if I should buy stock in UPS now or if they are planning on creating their own delivery infrastructure. Hmmmm…..
I really don’t know how they are going to pull this off exactly, but I think it’s going to mean big things for the big-box stores (Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, etc). I imagine they are either going to do their own delivery or cut a very specific deal with one of the carriers. I’m just wondering how this will change the landscape of suburbia – less 1 acre+ warehouse stores plopped down in a sea of concrete parking lot? Maybe it’s actually a good thing…
