ReplyDeleteThat blurb is almost incomprehensible!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elaine. I couldn't figure out which buildings they were talking about in the blurb. "In front..."? I see grass.
ReplyDeleteThey must be mining some serious water to be able to grow trees like that in Nevada.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite moment is the "building housing teaching" triplet -- now THAT's copywriting! The caption is doubly near-incomprehensible, by the way, in that it is rendered in an incredibly tiny font. I have good eyes at short range, but I had to use a special light to be able to read it.
ReplyDelete@Jennifer: What, am I going on a trip?
