Weekend & A Disgruntled Psuedo-Architect


This is a more expensive house now.

This a more expensive house in 1918. Notice it has something lacking today--good taste.

Also note that I thought there existed an SG-4. I was hoping...

Characters, day 7: Merle Meekon

I also realise The Meekons are a band though I only heard one song
of theirs, a long time ago and forgot what it was about.
