Not totally true. There's one being built in my neighborhood. But part of the deal is to finish with a decent looking siding to make it look more "normal"

That's a great story @Squankum. Did you only visit Norway on that trip? If it was back in the early '60s and you crossed the border into Sweden, your dad would have had to switch to driving in the left lane. My parents visited Russia, Sweden and Denmark in the summer of 1967 and returned home just before H Day. Dagen H, Swedish for H Day, and the H stands for Högertrafikomläggningen, or the Right-Hand Traffic Diversion. On September 3, 1967, everyone in Sweden had to change from driving on the left to driving on the right. Sweden was already a dangerous place to drive because most of their cars had the steering wheel on the left, like the rest of Scandinavia and Europe. Maybe we should start a movement to switch sides in the US. What could possibly go wrong? This was Stockholm that day...
@Squankum, I wouldn't make a blanket statement about Scandinavian women. I'd need to see a photo of a younger Rut Larsson (at 103, oldest tandem sky jump [female]).
Then again, more than crackers would have to be involved to make me throw one of the Scandinavian Bikini Team members out of bed.
And that's before Candice found out her father left her out of his will.
Arlo should have recorded it. It's not on my copy of The Best of Arlo Guthrie album, which does have the Pickle Motorcycle story.
Marc, Candice is three years younger than Liane and "last year's model" would also be my "last words."Candice is last year's model...we need more of Nina Agdal. At least she knows how to play football....
@Bob Heine hopefully this won't damage your pacemaker...
In my mind, Liane is still the girl I took to her Senior Prom.
Andrew, I'm sorry we couldn't get together. Liane won't drive at night and I'm on a leash until the day before Thanksgiving.Just stopped by your neighborhood for the night but I won't be dropping in. I'm anchored in "Lake Boca Raton". Which isn't really a lake.
Cody, the new house across the street has about the same design aesthetic as a stack of shipping containers. Also, those containers are used for 10-12 years before the companies retire them and then they can be used for another decade or two in a less corrosive atmosphere. At one time I invested in Textainer, a container leasing company (not one of my best decisions). They have a container resale operation as well.
Andrew, they seem like a way to address the homeless problem. CMG Containers offers their: "Standard Package. Starting from only $16,000, Standard Package offers a shipping container studio apartment with 1 Bath, 1 Kitchenette and 150 square feet living area. A perfect solution for on-site housing, backyard office and guest-house needs, shipping container studio apartment can be plugged in instantly or can be enhanced with solar panels."
For quite a bit more you can design a Container McMansion. Unfortunately, Not In My Back Yard will make container living close to impossible, especially in places like Boca Raton.

Some of these new homes being built, to me, look very odd also. It's like the architects want to really stand out. There is an older house locally that's built with the base of the home smaller than the roof sqft, so the sides are tapered. It's unique but looks cartoonish to me. So, to turn down these container homes just seems odd if that's allowed.

Bob, Ms. Squankum is passing a growing homeless encampment in the woods of South Carolina on her weekly commute and I think it might involve a shipping container and several tents and awnings and looks nothing like that.
No different than what's been going on with automotive design for the past 15 years. "Bet you weren't expecting THIS!" (insert lump, bulge, awkward crease, strange hump)
No! I was expecting something beautiful or tasteful! Call me old fashioned.
Everybody pointed and laughed at the Pontiac Aztek. What we didn't realize was that it was ahead of its time. Who's laughing now?
Bob, we went after the switch. I will throw my weight behind a change to right-hand drive only upon receiving news that Indiana has normal time zones.
It was long ago and I was little, but my memory of the itinerary was:
a) Denmark first, in the big city (as these things go in Denmark) with the great amusement park
2) A trip to Sweden.... by hydrofoil! Across the channel in something like this:
Just a day trip.
Today I learned that early in the 21st century, a bridge/tunnel now connects Denmark and Sweden in that area:
Øresund Bridge - Wikipedia
iii) Then we got to Norway somehow and were in a rental car to some remote hotel. You can swim in a fjord, if you don't mind your head throbbing in pain from 38F water.
Had an Irish-American neighbor as a kid who went back to Ireland for a month or two, came back and had a bad auto accident by driving on the wrong side of the road stateside.

Howdy, Bob! I was doing some home repairs yesterday and finally got a chance to really use the palm nailer I had bought about a year ago. What a hoot! The typical power tool experience: faster, easier, and much louder than normal methods. I did some "toe nailing" which I normally hate and it was very easy and controllable. After I was done "sistering" that 2x4 in preparation for a new fascia board to be installed, I took it inside and added two more nails to my overhead row of PPE gear so I can hang more stuff up there. I've shown that pic of overhead PPE recently somewhere (my thread) and in the past, driving nails by hand into the framing of my mid-20th century house, well, somehow the pine becomes harder than the back of God's head after a couple of decades and it can be a challenge.
But not for Buzzy McNailer! BRRT. Done. Future projects with it will include an overhead (up in the floor joists) rack for the 3M dropcloth sheet roll.
I bought this for $35ish about a year ago. Prices have shot up. HF, of course, makes a cheaper one.
I figure it would be a handy thing for the one-handed handyman!
Actualy didn't use the palm nailer on the fascia board as it was PVC plastic "board" and I wanted to be very careful with it, and rely upon my experienced, skilled manual hammering, instead of my new skill of power tool that may get out of hand. (And to feel if I was really hammering into rafter or just air behind the board.)

Kay speaks the truth. I'm not a palm nailer frequent user, but I've heard of this issue before. I recall reading about the pneumatic metal shapers and how they ruined shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers, leading to very-premature arthritis. I recall William Bendix and The Life of Reilly, where he would be running a pneumatic riveting tool to build planes, and after setting one rivet, he would stop work to speak to the guy next to him. Now I realize he was trying to save his joints.

No what Squankum is referring to, but
Crossing the Bridge, about mid-1970's Detroit and graduating from high school, then trying to decide what's next for you, is a great movie with a number of young actors who later had notable success. Plus, see if you can find the scene with a very-famous rock star. It also has a kick-*** musical score, just like Detroit had going on back then. Alice Cooper, the Stooges, MC5, Motown... .

Cody, not being able to do my usual stuff is making Liane cranky. She sometimes forgets that I do anything but sit in front of a computer and type.
I have always been a fan of modern design and architecture but the bunkers popping up all over town have very little style. They are just piles of cubes. With the 'hill' in our back yard, a buried container would be a nice addition.
Philip, I guess Awakening from a coma ties into my living and loving the life you have for as long as you have it philosophy.

Most people have gray or white hair when they are in their late 70s but Liane, like many redheads, still has dark hair. It's not the fire engine red of her youth but it's still a dark reddish brunette. She does have a Bonnie Raitt white streak but on the side rather than the front. Here we are the day our granddaughter got married (it wasn't my idea to wear black).
@Squankum, the homeless problem is a nightmare. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath house we bought in 1966 for $14,500 should cost $133,369.57 today, based on inflation. Instead, that house is valued at $358,100 in today's market. That means at least a $2,500 a month mortgage and my rule of thumb is the mortgage is 25% of your monthly income. Apparently I'd need a job that pays $120,000 a year or work 8,000 hours for $15 an hour. It appears that means working 22 hours a day, 365 days a year. You'd really look forward to that leap year day off. I'd be homeless if luck had not followed me throughout my life.
I think the Pontiac Aztec engineers were moonlighting at the Honda Element design studio.
I love hydrofoils and took them many times when we lived down under. The hydrofoils covered the 10-kilometre (6 mi) journey from Circular Quay (next to the Opera House) to Manly in 15 minutes compared to 35 minutes for conventional ferries. We took the ferry when the ocean at the mouth of Port Jackson was rough. While we were there (ca 1990) they replaced the hydrofoils with Jet Cats.Bob, we went after the switch.

@Squankum, I have the cheapie Harbor Freight one and had great plans for it. I wanted to use it to drive stainless nails into the siding on the shed. Turns out the magnet doesn't work on stainless so I spent a lot of time bending over to pick up the dropped nails. Most of the time I use screws and those special phillips bits work well to hold onto the stainless screws.Howdy, Bob!

Kay, I never got to use it long enough to turn my hand into a claw. Although Arthur Itis helps in its place.
Gerry, I used to have a double-jointed thumb but the joint has turned it into a more normal thumb.
@Squankum, I no longer look for the external excuses -- it's all me getting older. Not a complaint, just an observation.

@Squankum, that's a pretty good advertisement even if it isn't paid for.

TJ, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving. No politics or religion or current events, just shared memories that brought a lot of laughter and joy. With the addition of several 'significant others' the crowd has grown. We ate outside under a wedding tent (a 30x10-footer). Our son's wife panicked about the "great turkey shortage" because she couldn't find a 40-pounder earlier in November. She settled for two 20-pounders and two more 10-pounders when the 49¢ turkeys showed up in the store at the last minute. Two were roasted in the ovens, one deep-fried and one smoked outside. The bucket of meatballs, two hams, 10-pounds of mashed potatoes, five pounds of sweet potatoes, barrel of stuffing, pile of broccoli and gallon of gravy filled in the gaps after everyone ate shrimp, crab dip, crackers and cheese and garlic/tomato pesto with toasted garlic bread for appetizers.
Our oldest grandson and his wife brought dozens of fresh free-range chicken eggs as gifts for his parents, us and our daughter's family. They almost look store-bought.
This morning our daughter-in-law called to apologize for forgetting to serve the creamed pearl onions. She found them in one of the refrigerators.
Scott, I think there's a travel gene in everyone but some of us seem to have two. We used to have a map of the world on the wall in my office. It had colored map pins, with one color for family visits, another for couple visits and a third for solo visits. Liane complained that she didn't have time to catch up to me so I put it in the closet. No matter how many places you visit, it's still just a drop in the bucket.Spent some time in Stavanger, Norway in 2017 or so.

You and Laine are looking great. Happy Thanksgiving!
Shorty, you're right, it certainly is!
Scott, that's amazing! I got out after 30 years. Had I stayed with IBM to age 65 it would have been 45 years. When I left in 1994, IBM was #4 in the Fortune 500 and by 2009 it was #14 (it's #49 today). I'm positive the company's decline had nothing to do with my departure but I bet it had a lot to do with how the company culture changed from hire the best and retain them to hire the young and work them until you find another young replacement.
@Wiz02, I'm the same, especially since 2001. Liane and I have fun watching lots of shows and saying "We were there." Did that for so long we just say "Yup" when the familiar places show up.
The best effect of travel are the memories. We vividly remember the Mediterranean Cruise to Greece, Egypt, Israel and Turkey in 1984 but I have no idea what we got or gave for Christmas or birthdays that year.

Bob - The wife and I both have the travel gene, and we took advantage of the opportunities to travel while we we were stationed in Europe. I've visited close to 50 countries, and hope to hit triple digits some day. Our 9 year old daughter lived in 3 different continents by the time she was 3 years old and has been to 25 or so countries.
Leonard, that's why we buy the turkey when it's on sale. There are always two turkeys in the freezer, one for the holidays and one for the middle of summer so it feels like a special meal. The summer turkey is only turkey, gravy and dressing, no sides.
I think we benefit from reduced stress. We ran out of big things to fight about a long time ago and I don't have the strength to turn the little things into more than "You're right, it's my fault and it'll never happen again."
Scott, that's really wonderful. Travel kinda changed my life. On that Mediterranean cruise we stopped at a couple of the Greek Isles and didn't see big McMansions or fancy vehicles. People walked to town and bought their food for the day at little shops. Some sat at an outdoor cafe, had a cup of coffee and talked with friends. It put my workaholic life in perspective. I decided we didn't need a huge house and fancy cars to be happy so my goal became retirement as soon as possible. OK, I may have missed the mark on the fancy cars but I did retire at 50.

Bob - living in Europe is different, isn't it? I've actually taken the opposite approach to retirement - I will retire from the Army next year, and don't need to work, but I plan to work part-time, remotely (read: from the comfort of my house in comfy clothes) until further notice. I'll continue to grow my YouTube channel as well. I may end up being too busy, but my Dad really went downhill mentally when he retired and I'm trying to prevent the same thing from happening to me. At 86, he may be the healthiest in the family physically, but dementia has ravaged his brain.
