Here're a few links to maybe help get your log rolling: building big? Why? Why not?My initial questions/thoughts:Do smaller homes provide bigger design challenges? More of a creative attention to choreography and efficiency, etc.?When designing for a small home, should we consider hiring/importing Japanese over North American architect talent?Do small homes necessarily have to be/feel cramped or claustrophobic?Do you try to suggest a smaller/greener footprint for your new clients' homes? (Can there be as much money in it?)How Does Ken's apparent new Okanagan home compare with his others? Feelings? Ideas? Conclusions?How small has Don designed? How big?Anyone here specialize in small/green? How easy is it to find one who does?How might have Chris E. responded?This thread is dedicated to the late Christopher Egan, who initiated my interest in "choreography".Rich

Why not query his wife. There had to be a good reason why Chris Egan left this newsgroup. Explain what you think he meant by it or republish some of his old threads.

I thought ti might be something you'd do, but figured I'd mention it just in case.

I didn't know that, but I don't know anything about goldfish. I guess they're bottom-feeders...? Prob going over all the gravel getting any tidbits that collect. Marbles sound likea good alternative. You can always get a clown-loach to get in between them to keep them cleaned - the loaches are more "delicate" eaters and don't really turn stuff over. They're also active, and funny to watch.

Right now, Ihave 5 "glow light tetras", and they're boring -they hide most of the time and only appear when I put food in, and they finally figure out that, oh, duh, yeah, this is food. IOW they're kind of dimwitted IMO even for fish.

I think my tank might be too small even for goldfish...

THere are various problems that can occur if hair goes uncleansed. I forgot what they are, of course, but there is a reason people started washing their hair, even if only by rinsing it out undera waterfall or water pump.

Yup. A smart dog, like a German SHepherd, or bird such as an African Grey, are said to be capable of reasoning on the level of a 5-yr-old. ((I'm kind of big on ethology, so I pick up on that sort of info.)) But that's as good as it gets, in terms of intellignce. Basically, you just have ot like dogs and want a dog (or other companion animal), and then just commit to taking care of it.

Kids are kind of a crap shoot, tho', too. Thre are all sorts of physical and mental difficulties that can occur just as a matter of genetic variability or mutation.
