Bigfoot and UFO’s Will Save Earth?

Well, maybe not directly, but indirectly? They will affect our environmental preservation measures simply by maybe existing.

These days green is big. The environmental movement has been around for decades, but issues such as global warming, recycling, and saving the planet have never been so much in the spotlight.

The Tampa Bay Rays and their Upcoming Modernistic Ballpark

I am intrigued by the design of this stadium. It is presented as being unique compared to the design of newer ballparks.

The Tampa Bay Rays this afternoon revealed a bold plan for a new waterfront baseball stadium at one end of a dramatically transformed St. Petersburg downtown.

The Rays’ plans call for a $450-million, open-air, 34,000-seat stadium to open in 2012 at the current site of Al Lang Field. On the other end of downtown at Tropicana Field, the team proposes a massive retail and residential development.
