Housing Bubble, credit bubble, public planning, land use, zoning and transportation in the exurban environment. Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.
Walrus Behavior: Highly gregarious, traveling in herds of up to several hundred though the traditional herd has recently been loosely replaced through internet herding behavior. Most walrus migrate southward with coming of age and migrate northward again in older age. Mating occurs in the water during February and March, with the single calf born from April to June following a 15-month pregnancy, which includes a three-month period of delayed implantation(!!!). The calf nurses for up to two years. Life expectancy is estimated at 40 years though with modern medicine some walrus have reached life expectancies of over 50 years.
Let me be the first to say Happy Birthday!!

ReplyDeleteThe group between the Boomers (who never were much into the drink), and the Geezers (who are not allowed to drink anymore), are the Boozers.
The secret to a happy marriage for men is choosing a wife who is smarter and at least five years younger than you, say UK experts.

Rob - I approve! Nice pic.
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day.
Happy Birthday Rob,
ReplyDeleteOne year closer to social security. Keep running. You're not gaining on it.
So men should look for a woman who is smarter than they are? What happened to Casey and Galina? Or does the rule only apply to "men"
ReplyDeleteYes, Gasey doesn't qualify for that study.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Rob Dawg!
