I learned that the first owner of our house was the widow of one of the last Captains of the Brooklyn Public Force prior to consolidation with the City.

It’d be great if someone knew about this site http://www.earthlab.com ? I have used their carbon calculator and it seems pretty legit? Has anyone else used it? They are partners with live earth and Al Gore so it must be pretty credible? If anyone else has done digging on this let me know. Oh and I got a score of 289 on their test…lower than the average in my state! Whoop whoop!

Well, thanks for reading! And more importantly, commenting.

Wow, I’d pay $70, but I doubt they’d charge that little in Brooklyn. Probably even more in Beacon. Yeah, I know…that’s backwards.

Cost me about $70 and she unearthed a bunch of information. Turns out my house was the first house OWNED by a woman (oh the scandal!!) back in the day and that woman’s father wrote a book on religion and feminism (double scandal!). Love it.
