Guess he was tired of being told he was “all hat”.
Read about this fad last sunday. When I Googled “Dopamine Fast” I realized it was “popular” 2 years ago.The newspaper probably was running out of good articles. But I think it is odd enough.
(the meteorite might be rare / odd, but the colonizer outcome is not odd in the least:)
Because children and adolescents don’t have sexual organs yet, and have never seen them?
Noooo! No more Sexy Cakes??
Some foods are sexual organs.
(Probably better nobody tells her.)
Indeed
They replaced the driveway with a pool.
In this neighborhood, garages and driveways are in back of the house and accessed by an alley. Popular way to do it in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex.
My spidey building code violation sense is tingling.
It is awfully close to the foundation of the house on the garage side, isn’t it?
That’s not a problem if done properly.
Now I don’t know Fort Worth’s building/zoning codes (and can’t be asked to look them up), but I do know that a lot of places have rules along the lines of “the (minimum number of) parking space(s) you need must be put up and maintained on your own estate”.
I guess you could always pull a Keith Moon and park your car in the pool, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the new owners end up backfilling the pool or putting up new parking spaces somewhere on the estate.
There is still a driveway around the side of the house. My grandparents’ home in Kentucky had a very similar layout. In a practical sense, this sort of “elbow” driveway has more driveway space than necessary. There’s just no roof over your car anymore, so I can’t really be too sympathetic when it comes to hail storms.
ETA: Save yourself a lawsuit or catastrophe and FENCE IN YOUR POOL!!!
