I still do not understand why we still insist upon living above ground. It's all ...weathery out there. Get a good cave, kick out the existing residents, and stockpile some essentials (like becan). Caverns usually have great reverb effects. Run some power and some plumbing in there and you're all set. There's no lawn maintenance, no aluminum siding to replace, and no noise from the neighbors. (Get your own cave!) It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
I have a strange urge to lurk under bridges and threaten to eat those who pass by. I'm also developing an unreasoning fear of goats.
