Why Howard Laughed
Question: Will anyone read an architecture / cycling / global warming / peak oil / housing bubble bursting blog? Answer: Don't care, therapy is therapy. Looks like it's gonna be a long hard slog, uphill, into the gale, with rusty gears and a bad attitude.

About Me
- Name: Howard
- Location: Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
I try to work as little as possible, but when I do, I bill at $75 an hour. I'm worth more, but illegal immigrants are holding down wages. And yeah, that's a picture of me... only I'm taller and younger. You want to believe me, don't you?

Not bad for a cell phone photo.

Wow, I didn't realize it was a cell phone photo that I scammed offa you.
Shouldn't there be smoke coming outta the tops of those teepees?
I have a piece of that roof. It's very interesting... It's a part leftover from when the roof tore some years ago.

Welcome to Howard's big tent of blogger fun, s.g. It's made of teflon, same as your workplace.
You know, it's supposed to cost $380,000 to clean that teflon. It should just be painted instead...

Howard will entertain paint color suggestions... [I'm partial to salmon, but then that's so 90's now, isn't it?]
I suspect that the added weight of all the paint would be troublesome -- particularly over time as the layers pile up! Also, the fabric is designed to flex and move, which paint would prevent. Finally, the light transmission -- the best reason to choose a tensile structure -- would suffer.
Don't neglect to keep that poetic hemisphere of your mind well fed and exercised!
