Tidbits.

1.   From the real estate office down the street: 

San Francisco: where 2 beds + 1 bath = 2.7 million dollars

2.  From the Ballast Building Systems ARE study guide: 

     “To quantify the effects of clothing [on human comfort], the unit clo was developed.  One clo is about equal to the typical American man’s business suit or about 0.15 clo/lbm of clothing.”

     My comments:

- The unit clo is hilarious and cute.

- The second sentence from the study guide does not make sense.  One clo cannot equal 0.15 clo/lb.  (That it can equal a typical American man’s business suit is also up for debate.  Does this mean when Will and I are packing to go to the next wedding I can tell him not to forget his clo?)

- Upon further investigation (Wikipedia), I believe the study guide should have said 0.15 K·m²/W.  If you are interested (and even if you’re not), K·m²/W is the same unit for the R-value for insulation.  Which makes sense because clo measures the insulation value of clothing.

- Furthermore, according to Wikipedia, another unit for the insulation value of clothing is the tog (1 clo = 1.55 togs).  “Togs” is supposedly a British slang term for clothes.

3.    ABC 13 Eyewitness News wants to know: “Can Houston Clean Up Its Chronic Dumping Problem?”  I want to know…can anyone really?
