Wonderful ideas on how to make a barn cost 20 times more than it otherwise would!

Casey,
I was drug kicking and screaming into cyber space, by my sons. Yes, Bobby's wit on the web is greatly missed.

Steve,
It is incredulous some of the creations "intelligent" men design in some of today's zoo's. It makes you appreciate the beauty of an Anthwerp Giraffe House so much more. While not very functional for the animals, at least you don't gag when you look at it. I have to wonder ifarchitects Károly Kós and Deszõ Zrumeczky were as impressed with themselves when they built the Budapest Zoo Elephant House and endorsed it as an "international open-air architectural museum."
