davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2025

[Alliecat]

Ooh, yup, that’s a fixer. I’ve seen worse in Nova Scotia and BC. Ceiling pieces falling in, debris everywhere, water damage, holes in walls…  I can never quite decide whether to be angry that someone let a house get into that condition when there are people sleeping in tents under bridges, or to be sad because sometimes you can read the story in the pictures – some elderly person couldn’t keep their home up anymore and it fell down around them until they finally either died or had to be removed.
And I always want to smack the realtors with their “endless possibilities” and “loads of potential”.

Nope, I don’t have a link to the funky house with the carpeted walls. I watched it until it sold. Would be interesting to see what the buyer did with it. Too bad, because it was a decent size lot and not far from water, if I recall.

Vulcan does look like middle of nowhere, on the map, but it’s only 135 km from Calgary.

In other weirdness: the US government is considering bringing back pirates; or, more specifically, privateers.

Bahahaha!!! This genuinely made me laugh. I don’t suppose one senator making a random suggestion counts as “the government considering it” but hey, you never know – all bets are off these days, aren’t they?

That’s a cool photo. Which of the gang did the wheel come with? Nice little detail that they put steering ropes on it. This reminded me of the Bounty … which had them and was a b^gger to steer.
