    Good stuff! I think I speak for most people, when I add that the main thing is that organic cotton duvets feature prominently in our planning process.

  2. 2 James Glave said at 2:18 pm on February 25th, 2010:

    Agreed; alas, I don’t think this particular duvet cover is organic cotton. I’ll be sure to bring this up with the OCP committee at their next meeting.

    Actually duvets might be a nice addition to the planning process…gives a whole new flavour to “sleepy little island.”

    You forgot the dark winding roads with no pedestrian or bike paths….Isn’t that what makes it Rural?

  5. 5 Tim Wake said at 9:01 pm on February 25th, 2010:

    pretty much.

    the only real difference in those cute little coloured places is size. and price. oh and footprint. neighbourhood. walkability. emissions.

    we need to define the term “rural community”

    If you look carefully, you can see a deer eating someone’s organic greens in their urban garden.

    just sayin’
