re: Adding to the absorption rate of rainfall, most of the new streets and sidewalks are made of porous, rice-cake-textured concrete. Funny, I listened to a blurb about that stuff on the radio into work this morning. Much of the rain goes right through! Yes, its very effective that way. Besides being green, it also looks good. You wouldn't know there were any subsidized units within the complex. BTW had you heard about this one: "Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) planned to resign today, hours after ABC questioned him about sexually explicit internet messages with current and former Congressional pages under the age of 18. A spokesman for Foley, the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, said the congressman submitted his resignation in a letter late this afternoon to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. Hours earlier, ABC News had read excerpts of instant messages provided by former pages who said the congressman, under the AOL Instant Messenger screen name Maf54, made repeated references to sexual organs and acts. The full details will be included in a report tonight on ABC World News with Charles Gibson."
