Hey Gang,
Rudy Streng asked, << how many of you name your homes? >>
The Cobb family is still domiciled at "Fort Cobb, where critters have the
right of way." My garage is still lovingly referred to as "The Abattoir,"
mainly for all the flesh and blood I've left behind in there but also for
the bloody beasts who reside therein...
Incidentally, that naming the cottage business almost drives me nuts when I
am in Blighty trying to find someone's house... Seems nobody but the owner
actually calls the place that! Personally, I think it is another clever
British device for confusing potential invaders...
Cheers!
