What’s for lunch? In this heat, it makes a difference.
Temps are sweltering everywhere and–especially if you work outdoors in construction–what you eat for lunch may determine how well you hold up in the heat. I always liked Mexican food when the mercury soared. Not the kind of heavy stuff you typically get at chain restaurants, but good tamales, guacamole, rice and beans (not refried […]

Coach Pat Dye Does Not Suffer Fools Gladly. Namely, me.
Former Auburn University football coach Pat Dye runs a beautifully landscaped Japanese maple tree nursery on his 1,500-acre property near Auburn University. When I learned of the business, I thought the timing was perfect for a video interview with “Coach” and visuals of his more than 6,000 trees in springtime. This time, he was almost […]

Diesel hybrids take first, second at Le Mans
What would Steve McQueen think?   An Audi E-tron Quattro diesel-electric hybrid race car came in first at the 24 hours of Le Mans this weekend.

Plants for Waterscapes
From upright marginals to surface floaters, aquatic plants offer seasonal interest and soften the edges of manmade ponds. Plants provide habitat for fish and other aquatic life, improve water quality and help regulate water temperatures by providing shade. They also keep algae populations in check by competing for nutrients.
