With the United Auto Workers in the news lately, I happened to have a National Science Foundation grant proposal on my desk, and was struck by the similarities in their logos!
Coincidence? Deep dark conspiracy? Or a graphics artist reselling the same work to multiple clients?
We complained that our tap water looked and tasted rusty. So, during a multi-year drought, here's what the City of Atlanta Water Works did about it... they sent out a guy in a truck to open up the fire hydrant on our street.
Wasted untold hundreds (thousands?) of gallons of water. Now the water coming out of our sinks is dirtier than ever. We're drinking filtered water ourselves, and have bought a second water filter for the Cat Cave. Sad... Atlanta used to have some of the best tap water around. Now it's been filters and bottled water for us for years.
This morning, we joined the Atlanta MINI Club for a fun run through the North Georgia mountains. This is the route we took, and it was gorgeous!
We were probably a week late for the foliage peak, but it didn't matter. Sunny day, brisk temperatures (especially with the convertible top down!), good company with 30+ other MINIs. Any of you who live in or near Atlanta and who don't take advantage of our proximity to some of the most beautiful scenery on the East Coast... shame on you!

Spent a gorgeous fall day driving, eating, hiking, and shopping at Serenbe http://www.serenbe.com. I had planned to come home and write a blog post about it, but it turns out Angus beat me to the punch months ago: http://blog.angusmcrae.com/?p=43.
Not a place I'd choose to live (I'm a city boy), but it's nice to know it's available, only forty minutes from my driveway. More pictures here: http://photos.stephenandcecilia.com/gallery/6445439_ADE22
