We’ve seen signs protesting offshore wind in Santa Cruz, and anti-nuclear signs in Portland. But it occurs to us that we have seen no such signs of resistance to blackcloth...

“We were scavenging scraps and crazy-quilting ‘em together into something usable long before they got around to handing it out. We’ve never bought blackcloth, I can tell you that.”

Spring Vacation starts tomorrow, but the buzz is about Joaquin, 17, and Lindsey, 18, and their blackcloth prom attire…

The roof-the-parking-with-solar strategy has really caught on—some shopping malls’ main source of revenue is now the parking lot…

Fernanda takes a series of pictures, several of which won’t be seeing publication as this is a family-friendly newsletter (but the guys asked so nicely!)…

Contrary to its name, blackcloth now comes in any number of colors, and the parasols of San Antonio now all generate electricity…

Many of the pictures involve dogs, cats, and other cute animals—too easy. Sometimes cute kids are involved, perhaps to split the “Adorbs” voting bloc…

That corkboard is the future.

This is not a metaphor. It is, however, an understatement.
