The objective this year is to get some 'back burner' plans moved to a front burner.

My brother needs a new golf shop to replace the one attached to his residence, but it is not a priority in my mind.  His little golf course was built by the original owner for personal use, so the home and business are somewhat still fused together.  Tractors and grass cutting equipment get exposed to golfers and flying golf balls, but whatever gets done to the course, it will always be a low…

Most people work within convenient walking distance from their homes and there is efficient and clean public rail transport. All buildings have been upgraded for energy conservation and efficiency and alternate energy systems (not fossil fuel) have been installed, so that in the event of a national power failure (energy shortage) all… Continue
