Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:41:46 +0000 c389787@http://metachat.org We have cats, too- we'll pool our resources to build a modular CatPod that attaches to the outside of the house, like a shuttle. The cats can sun themselves on it while it orbits the house on rails. Imagine looking out the kitchen window as a pod full of cats drifts lazily by. When I was a kid, I always thought the future would be more like that.

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:09:03 +0000 c389808@http://metachat.org Wow. But this gives me pause: ...the current owner has had the property only four months and didn't want to comment. Could it be that it's haunted? By space aliens?!?!?!? (And your catpod idea is sheer genius, BP)

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:28:59 +0000 c389826@http://metachat.org I couldn't wait till lunchtime to watch, so I see it DID sell! Wow, the place needs some attention, it appears. New decking on the porch, lose the country-ish furniture and the old kitchen cabinets, replace it all with chrome, glass, and plastic. I hope the new owner has an IKEA credit card. That's the kind of furniture you need in a place like that.
