They were all covered in mud from head to foot as they excitedly built a road, carefully lined with rocks, for their toy trucks to cross the lawn and run down the slope. Although there was a perfectly good toy front-end loader in the mud pit, one boy had figured out that the dog's water dish carried much more mud and was easier to fill, so he had clearly been designated the logistics officer, while the other two became the surface engineering...

But the choice of corn-based ethanol is one that...
...dead zones along the exterior, stretches that have the featureless feel of shed walls. But to keep the eye occupied, Holl plays with the forms and arrangement of the five lenses, bending and dipping them as the hilly site also bends and dips. As you stroll down the slope, the building unfolds in surprising episodes. There's nothing quite like it anywhere else...
