I first encountered the structure at night, while <I>en route</I> to some frivolous to-do or another, and belatedly realized that the empty lot was no longer. Still, I had to stand and stare for several moments before it occurred to me that this was, in fact, a tree. (I then strained my neck looking for the top.)<BR/><BR/>I am glad to hear that your nocturnal activities are unaffected by Miss Spirit's residence. (Think of it as a challenge to fly around it, and it becomes a feature, not a bug, as they say in the world of Difference Engines.)<BR/><BR/>And I would never suggest that you might be spying on Professor Swindlehurst. The occasional skinny-dippers in the inlet are, no doubt, of much greater scientific interest. :)Rhianon Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627163137265856251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413879796435723871.post-84168936495379749172009-03-10T18:33:00.000-07:002009-03-10T18:33:00.000-07:00I have been curious as to what would arise on Miss...I have been curious as to what would arise on Miss Easy Spirit's property and I was considerably surprised yesterday to walk out and see the giant tree residence. To call it a tree house, while technically correct, would be a poor and inadequate description. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately it sits to the north of my observatory and does not interfere with viewing the moon and planets. (any rumors that I use the facility to spy on Professor Swindlehurst in his airship home are completely without foundation) The only change is that I keep the new building in mind while flying in the area, especially while test-flying a new aircraft. I suppose I should conduct test flights over the ocean where there are no obstacles, but what fun is that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
