I didn’t step outside, or even poke my head up from the computer, until the sun was going down. Meetings and emails and work and such. Here’s the view from the front porch. We face the west, but we turn wherever the best views are to be found.
A home on a lazy Susan. There’s an idea. I imagine one person standing out at the corner, squatting low, putting their back into it, slowly spinning the house. It’d be like a pushing a dead car, difficult at first, but you’d build a little momentum. The trick would be stopping at the right time. You wouldn’t want to overshoot the sunset or whatever you were aiming at.
The next trick would be managing the electrical connections. There are a lot of wires and pipes and things.
OK, so we build in some flexibility. Use that silly straw technology.
We’d need giant ball bearings. I suppose we’d need a giant ball bearing plant. The plant, itself, would need to be rather large. We’ve also got to figure out a way to transport those. That’s certainly doable, but would be costly. And replacing those, when the time comes, would be a chore.
Then you’ve got to keep leaves out of way of the things. This is starting to become a rather involved idea.
But only a few steps after we’ve invented a giant ball bearing plant.
This million dollar idea might need a little more work.
I’m still living in the happy memories of our wonderful Irish vacation. So, I’m sharing extra videos that we didn’t get to at the time. It was a great vacation. I have a lot of footage. This will go on for some time. Enjoy it with me, won’t you?
This was one of the windier places you’ll be that doesn’t involve a storm. I left in the nat sound to prove it.
That is the view from Sky Road.
