Yep,Tom and Roseanne's digs. . . . . Ultimately, the biggest mark left on the icy Iowa landscape (and the best metaphor for the couple's turbulent marriage) is their unfinished, 25,000-square-foot Victorian house. It now sits abandoned, roofless on a 2,000-acre farm called Serenity.At the end of a gravel road, a white metal fence dripping with icicles stops would-be visitors to Serenity. But if you did get inside in the heyday, you'd have seen stuff that would've made Elvis drool. Jet-skis. Go-carts. A herd of Black Angus cattle. Godzilla and bear sculptures. Plastic flamingos — 150 of them — dotting the 17 ponds. . . . . The actual house is about 3 miles from the listed address. Took a bit of scrolling to finally find it. Private property now and too big to tear out. This will be around for hundreds of years. |

Weird- that is my Ubuntu desktop - right down to the theme - not used to seeing that anywhere else. Bing has nice bird-eye images - what is the address / GPS coordinates? |

Ohbueller, a bit off topic. How do you like Ubuntu? I just got a new laptop and desktop and plan to setup the drive for a dual boot of Windows 7 and Linux. I'm leaning towards giving Ubuntu a run. |

Cat- still OT, but I just got a tablet/laptop set up with a dual OS partition for me and the GF to use- she's got the latest Wind'ohs Ultimate, I've got Ubuntu 12.04, which was released at the end of May this year- so far so good! Seems a LOT quicker than my old Ubuntu 9.04, and of course getting the GF out of Vista into the latest Windows OS will tickle her... Now I gotta re-learn how dumb I am at 'puter stuff. |
