I like to think my son loves bizarre buildings, but I know I love showing them to him. As many as there are, I want more, more, more! I do know he’s an excellent LEGO builder so all the viewing I subject him to has got to have some benefit for the boy.
We have labels on our food to alert us as to what is in it, shouldn’t we also know the environmental costs of the products we consume?

How would we get manufacturers to post a simple label on all products?
I am not sure how many things I have on my I-Know-Its-Bad-For-Me-But-I-Just-Don’t-Want-To-Stop List, but I am sure sushi rates at the top of the list.

What if everyone started mailing the UNrecyclable plastic jewel boxes from CDs and the plastic DVD covers back to the record labels and film studios COD, with a note “Please recycle”? Do you think they might start moving to more eco-friendly cardboard version?
Dave Devries takes children’s drawings and lends his artistic skill to them to give them a dose of spooky reality. He and his work would be in My Museum. Check it out.
Harold “Mr. Speedy” Lloyd gives no less than the Babe himself the ride of a lifetime. Be sure to check out how he takes the horses for a ride through Washington Square Park.
I love modified homes. And any silly building in general. I have added this one to my Need To See list. Any one going to Buffalo this weekend?
