Now THAT’S a Walmart I could spend some time in!

“There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.”

—Robert Lynd

A worthwhile thought for architects and developers. Too bad the property owners in my ’hood aren’t birds!
