Watch Out For the T-Rex

By Liberty Girl  ·  December 12th, 2008   

It’s Friday.  I have craploads of work to do today, Mister Liberty Girl has a project deadline, Liberty Son has makeup schoolwork, and Liberty Daughter has a soccer tournament this weekend, so the following presentation is in lieu of actual content.

Knowing, as we do, that it is more likely we’ll be eaten by a T-Rex than win the lottery, Mister Liberty Girl and I still find it amusing to occasionally indulge in the What-If game.  (C’mon, you’ve all done it.)

Land would be right there on the top of the list.  With a Big Fucking Fence around it.  Next would be the house I’ve been working on since I was a design student in college, based on ancient Roman structures with a huge garden space in the center of an open square building.  Oh the bathroom this house would have…  Huge, warm, not-slippery, tons of water, air dryers, etc.  If you’ve read Heinlein’s Time Enough For Love then you’ve read about both the house and the bathroom.  

Yes, I am a Heinlein devotee, as is Mister Liberty Girl.  Deal.

The kitchen would likewise be a granite-topped, mahogany-cabineted, super-gadgeted haven for cooks.  And it’d have one of these things. 

Dedicated water line.  Bean hopper.  Water reservoir for a proper steam.   And a guy who comes out every other Thursday to service the damned thing.

So, what would you all do with your lottery winnings?

UPDATE:  Mister Liberty Girl has requested a “metric assload” of these for the CompoundTM perimeter.
