Do No Evil – Author, former CNN writer/producer, writes of disappointing personal experience in her town -- so little interest in politics, big issues people need to face. Why confront the hard choices when we can have fun barbecuing, etc.? Interesting, smart, personal piece.

Humor – Funny, smart piece on a day in the life without AC, brutal temps, & some of the consequences and lessons learned. 1 tip: Probably not a good idea to go car shopping when experiencing the onset of heat stroke.

Humor – Not sure exactly what's being sold here & for what -- a plot for a very small spec house? But housing market/economy is tough, so whatever works, I guess. Odd spot for some signs. (FYI, nowhere do the signs direct toward any other address, houses, etc--they're sitting there, "as is".)
