it’s very unusual but to me, it doesn’t look comfortable. I’m not sure why. Love the surroundings, though. He did have a way with a pen.

Is that a thing? LOL!

He he... I didn't actually do the quiz. Brutalism was a really awful style from the 60's and 70's

I think my mom had an art deco kitchen table in the 50s. Brass chairs with green vinyl seats. Absolutely horrible by today’s standards.

Yo radu!

Even though I selected Rome on the quiz, I always enjoyed the Gothic architecture of Paris when I visited there while stationed abroad.

We were cool again but the heat is on its way, just not triple digits like last week.

You and the brood managing?

Very interesting! I’m just thankful it doesn’t come with whips and chains. LOL!

I think our courthouse might be sort of that style. And yes, awful.

Those apartments actually give me the creeps. :)

Howdy do, Conor! *HUGZ*

Great to see you after so long. I hope all’s going well. Renovations still ongoing or is everything finished at long last?

Could have been. Or whatever they called that style with the formica topped table and plastic upholstered chairs with chrome or brass trim. I think it was just called modern? We thought it was then anyway. LOL! We had one like it, too. Now they go for a lot of money in antique shops.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the pictures don’t do it justice. I do like how it complements the surroulndings. Wright was good at that.

The home renovation continues.

YOU ARE BAROQUE



You are a man of many talents – comfortable with both the precision of Mathematics and the passion of the Beaux Arts.

You have an innate sense of Beauty, Proportion and Balance.

You have a unique ability to visualize the Abstract and the Arcane, to interpret them in a unique way, and to transform an eclectic array of disparate artifacts into a cohesive final thing of Beauty.

It’s all modern inside, dishwahers, garbage disposals

Yeah the idea was to make it blend to the surroundings.

Then Lord Palumbo got his hands on it LOL

Still worth visiting.

Yeah, 4 inches is maybe your annual rainfall, isn’t it? Not far off any way.

I doubt we’ll get that much over those three days but it would be nice. It’ll make for some pretty soybeans if we get it. Now’s when they need it.
