Hat tip to Susie for her Twittered comments on this. I heard a whisper or two about it on the radio, but I had other things on my mind at the time and didn’t check it out. In case you missed it, too, the report is out about a home in West Hollywood, California which [...]

OK, there is no excuse for not having pictures for this, but I will post them soon.
