Utah delivers vote of no confidence for 'climate alarmists'

Can we send this to Donald Trump?...apparently the Donald sees the unusual winter weather in U.S. parts as clear evidence that climate warming is a scam.

Cintainer City is a comercial centre in Cholula, Puebla, 2 hours from Mexico City.
As you know, I am not a fan of this concept, first because to build a tradicional house (brick+concret)of the same dimensions is less expensive. Second because if we want to achive an adecuate isolation comparatively the cost raises. Tirdly the transport issue..etc, etc, etc.

However maybe a comercial use is not so bad...

Hi Mike,

Thanks for this sentence of Dear Emile Zola, here`s one for you.
A sentence out of a Poëm written by Theo Marsman, a Dutch poët.
"GRAND AND STIRRING I WANT TO LIVE".
This sentence is as important as my quote, Let love be the drive in your live.
I`m going to make a new painting about the first worldwar, it will have the name of the book by William March Campbell : Company K, first published 1933 by Smith & Haas co. ,New York.
Maybe we could bring this new painting and your fine poëm together.
Greetings Joop.
