*sighs* John… you have too much time on your hands. As does everyone else who reads this blog apparently. At least its entertaining…

Wonder if it is two boats/two families, or if one family occupies both boats. That’d be kinda neat – turn one boat over to the kids and mom and dad have the other.

Dan–You know, on my list, I had "Michael, Row The Boat Up Onto The Curb," but I ended up cutting it, because enough was enough already. But that's TOTALLY funny! (I actually PUT "Take Me To The River" on the list. I couldn't resist.)

Tamara: Funny. Yeah, I don't know the story on these two homes. Someone told me they'd just been designated some kind of … Historical House landmark type thing, or something. They've been there for a long time. When I was standing outside of it taking this picture, I TOTALLY heard someone from inside the houseboat on the right singing. LOUDLY.

What are the odds of finding two boat-houses right next to each other? I hope that doesn’t become epidemic like all the gated communities, I tend to get sea sick.

And I thought living in this http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/images/vt/VTPUTigloo1.jpg was the weirdest I has seen (about an hour away in Putney, Vermont). They call it an igloo house: I think it looks like a package and a half of Hostess SnoBalls

Lets see. Boat HOOUUUSE by the Commodores? I need a write in vote option.

I wonder if these folks are related to Noah. Oh wait, they would have to be, right? And me too! I have the coolest relatives.

You Californians ARE in a different state entirely!

Yeah, that is so funny. “Bring Me Some Water.” I didn’t even think to go down the “Water Shortage” line of yuks. That would have been great. “Take Me to The River.” Awesome. You rock (the boat), Dan.

Greta: Amazing!

Candace: Yeah, I don’t know the people who live there. They seem like … normal people. I really should ask to see the inside of their place, take some pics, and so on. Be fun.

How about Dead in the Water? Or there is Muddy Water, or Walking on Water. Or in this case Bring Me Some Water by Melissa Etheridge?

And there are all the jokes that end by saying “as much sense as putting a basement in a house boat”

Only in California.

Hey John,

How about Michael row the boat ashore (Get it Shore?)

I crack me up
