And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I have no well in hell of affording the taxes, the maintenance, the utilities etc. But, what the hell. Free beer and loud music count me in for the party, and a place to crash and breakfast with lots of coffee. And don't tow off my junker Ford.
Sterile, and very hard to keep comfortable. All that glass - even the best double-paned stuff is going to transmit a lot of heat from the sun. It's also going to lose a lot of heat when it's cold outside. Of course, almost anything can be fixed if you spend enough money.
That spectacular abode is way too fancy for me and my tastes.

ReplyDeleteWhile it has a great view, it looks pretty sterile. Bare walls, bare stairwells, no color except concrete white, no flowers and so on.
