Last weekend, my wife and I honeymooned in the tiny town of New Harmony, Indiana. The town has a history that is unique to this state, and much of that history has been preserved to this day.

Indiana Living Green Magazine has an article about Solar products for home use. It has some good pointers, as well as the people to contact if you’re looking into this option like I am. I might even put my $600 refund check from the government towards installation. Have any of the readers tried a solar …

Featured is an important quote: “Don’t get the idea that I’ve turned green,” Pickens tells the Guardian in the Dallas offices of his new venture Mesa Power. “My business is making money, and I …
My Fiancee has enrolled us in 2 CSA’s, one of which comes straight to our door each month for the entire year. It’s called Basic Roots, and it’s pretty cool. Pictured above are: Eggs From Redwine Farms in Westfield Ida Red Apples from Tuttle’s Orchard in Greenfield JT’s honey from here in Indy Strawberry Preserves …
30th Street and Lafayette Rd is not the most glamorous intersection in town. In fact, on first glance, it looks like a preview of suburban sprawl.
