I'm sorry, I know I should be writing a witty caption, but could someone please explain to me what on earth is happening to that house?!!? It looks like it's been dug up! Is this a new twist on mobile homes????

Kitt, I think they're moving the house. Sometimes people get so attached to their homes, instead of taking all the mementos with them, they take the whole freakin' house when they move. Just dig up the foundation and plant it on the new foundation in the new location. That's what I'd assume is happening. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Kitt, there have been several homes moved like that in my town. People want downtown real estate so they sell the house where the buyer has to agree to move the house, then they build a new building where the house was. The new buyer moves the old house to a new site and sets it up for a business such as a bed & breakfast.

I just would never believe any one would have thought of moving a house, particularly an old one like that, and if they thought of it, that it would be possible! You're right, Urgrace, that house is just begging to be a B&B.

What a great house--I love it!

Now, the following probably doesn't need a caption but I didn't know where else to post it. It is supposed to be from the From 1954 Issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine....

Just in case anyone had trouble reading that:

Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate how a "home computer" could look like in the year 2004. However the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 years from no scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use.

Any one else used to use Fortran? Imagine a computer where you had to do everything in that!

I emailed that picture to my husband, as I thought he'd be amused... he says it's a hoax - what a killjoy! The main part of the pc is from a submarine - hence the steering wheel. This link says all about it:

It's a good picture though.

Thanks for the info, Kitt. I'm sending it to my computer geek brother who sent the photo to me. It's not often I can catch him as a hoax victim (he's usually the one who calls me out on them, lol!)
