Community Supported Agriculture; What a Great Idea!!

Upon learning that my Julie my co-worker was going to get her share of rhubarb from her share of "CSA" I was so impressed I decided to research the topic. This is a great way to support local business and promote organic farming.

"CSA members purchase a share before the harvest begins. The price of the share enables the farm to cover yearly costs, many of which are incurred before the crops are ready for harvest. In return, members receive 24 weekly shares of the freshest, highest quality, organic produce from the farm, starting in June and ending in November. Stoneledge Farm donates to each CSA location one free Vegetable Share for each 10 Vegetable Shares sold. The CSA locations use the donated shares in a way that best serves their local CSA community"

I think I will do this....

The Best Sound in The World!

I visited the Monteverde Cloud Forest on my trip to Costa Rica last March and I felt like I was on the best place on earth when I heard this bird singing (black-faced solitaire). I hope you like it as much as I did!

Poll: how often do you use yellow pages?

I noticed that there is a big stack of Yellow Pages books outside of my building and it reminded me that the YP are still relevant [?], with the majority of people using 'smart' phones, any information that is located in the yellow pages can easily be obtained from most smart phones. The White Pages book which contain people's phone numbers can also be accessed via Internet (if there isn't an ap for that). Having said that:

Do you use the Yellow Pages?
Do you think these books should be eliminated (at least for big cities)?
Do you know how much does it cost to produce YP book? or where the money comes from?

Please answer these questions (living in US). I know that at least for my building they are ignored and eventually thrown away.
