It IS fascinating, friend. In fact, I'm thinking of just driving around during my lunch hour so I can listen to it!!
Later: On the way home, I listened to tales of the planning of the new house and its site. I started wondering if Annie Proulx would like to buy my house! It does not have the North Platte River running by it, but it does have nice views and abundant wildlife. There are interesting pieces of light because it has several round and half-round windows, more than a dozen French doors with mullions, skylights, etc. and a large central room for books, a dining room with a large table, a pantry, a laundry room with room for fishing rods, and a large walk-in closet (actually a separate room off the master bath for clothing). It's dead quiet at night. It doesn't have a room with tatami mats but I could rip out some carpeting and install some. And it would be a lot less than $3.7 million!!
