Salvador Dali and his pet ocelot Borris.

I am not really sure how you fall into this line of work, but Pete Nelson did. Pete travels all over this crazy world just to find these spectacular architectural gems and the nut cases who live in them. One in Japan was built with “the express purpose of contacting alien life.” Somehow Pete is on his 5th book about the wonders of these strange abodes. Pete builds them too.

Or maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested…
Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll.” HST
