Worker's Solstice

A nice house sits on the edge of a cliff that hangs over water. Someone from inside the house says "And we got it for a steal at $10,900!"
January 22, 1966
Did they not walk past the attached carriage house? How do you not know that your house is sitting just feet from the edge of a cliff? I mean, I know it's 1966 and you can't just pull up the Internet and look at a satellite view of the house but still...

I'll admit, I do enjoy watching videos of houses falling into the sea: Consequences for human's narcissism and hubris.

Brutus sits at his desk with a laptop and a pile of papers in his in box. "The nights are at their longest this time of year. And the days are at their shortest. But the work days are just as long as they are the rest of the year."
Work does suck. I don't like doing it. I'm at least on break for the next two weeks. It's a shame your average office drone doesn't get that luxury.
