While surfing the Planetizen blog, I came across a very cool posting on the possible benefits of per-mile car insurance. Josh Stephens, the author, has some great points about how pay as you drive - in other words, the more miles you drive per year, the more you pay in insurance - could work [...]

Although we don’t foresee building many more of these, I think everyone who saw Mixson’s little house at the Park Circle Earth Day Festival, on April 19, has to agree that it turned out just gorgeous.

The 2008 Charleston Farmers Market starts up again this weekend, on April 12, in Marion Square downtown as always.
