Curious as a Cat

(Link in meme-roll)

1) Would you prefer to have your own swimming pool or your own airplane? Why?
Seeing as how I can't swim, I'll go with airplane. I know someone who's a small-craft pilot--come to think of it, I know several airline pilots as well--so I think I'd be ready to travel in a heartbeat. We're less than 10 minutes from a small airport, too.
2) Which items in your house do you think will bring in the most money at an antique store in a century?
Huh. Assuming they don't get broken, I'd bet on the small Roseville vase of my mom's and perhaps some of the furniture and/or s&p's. Nothing of ours, per se, just the stuff we've inherited. I don't buy stuff as an investment; I buy it cuz I like it. It would be weird if the motley collection of books I have will be worth anything in 100 years, though.
3) Do you shop around when you look for clothes or do you buy the first thing you like?
I hate shopping (have I mentioned that?), so if I find something that's at least in the right ballpark, playing something that looks like the right game, I buy it. This often leads to me buying stuff that I wear once and realize is all wrong, but I rarely pay much for things, so....
4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Lots of good presents yesterday. Great Christmas day in that way, and in every other. Boxing Day...not as great.

I'm afraid books in the 22nd century will be like 8 tracks are today...

Could be. I'm more inclined to think that in the future, mass-produced books will be a thing of the past, but good books, one of a kind books, will be the illuminated manuscripts of the day.
