Floating Homes of the Future This is from an articles in Forbes magazine about homes of the future. I have always thought that living on a houseboat would be wonderful.

The second one, the lower floor would be under the water- how really cool is that!
Well this dear laughing varmit is being retired due to copyright infringement. I have realized that it came from cute overload without permission. I have written to them but decided I had better change anyway. So this ragged pink flower from my garden is the new replacement.

Also you may realize that my URL is (hopefully) mountainmae.com now. I will be working on the site so if something does not work, please tell me. I look forward to a long and fun trip together in the days ahead.

Imhotep by Jerry Dubs Stumbling into an unfinished tomb, our hero find a doorway that opens into ancient Egypt before the pyramids. Sounds hoocky but was a wonderful story with interesting background and characters.
