Coastal Living Idea House at Bon Secour Village

Coastal Living Magazine's info about the Coastal Living Idea House (or cottage) as it is occasionally called. Some 'cottage'. I notice that the sales info says it has these fantastic views of the Intercoastal Waterway but I wonder if it will when another house is built on the lot between it and the waterway. I have not bothered to look at the lot layouts, but it appears to be on an interior lot. Our waterfront Little Lagoon 'showhouse' is Villa Lagoon.








Coastal Living Magazine sponsored an "Idea House' right here in Gulf Shores in the new Bon Secour Village development. My friend Mark invited me to go with him. It was a very nice lawn party with music , loads of good food, nicely set tables under the tent and on the lawn. We could take interior photos in the kitchen only. It had Viking appliances for the most part.


These be some pricey diggs. They are not exactly on the water, but the development is built alongside the Intercoastal Waterway. Right now only a few houses are built, so it looks spacious and there is a good view of the water and the interesting barge traffic as well as recreational boat traffic. But I imagine later on that it will have a different feel. The developers have left lots of open places tho, so it should be pretty even later on.

I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past.

What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
