Who wants to live in a tent in my yard? @mrpeanut

@33MHz is there a way I can keep my laptop charged, and is there wifi so I can send e-mails?

@33MHz wow, that is actually very tempting. I am currently just sort of wandering around the world "authoring", living out of my suitcase and working out of my laptop.

@mrpeanut it's a nice 4-season tent, too.

@33MHz Last summer I lived in this mansion as author-in-residence for a week. Imagine if you gave the tent some prestigious-sounding name, and I became the author-in-residence there for a week ...

@mrpeanut well if it's just a week, you could stay in my parents' house. But a month… then you could make your stay in the prestigious Zacharias Farrington Foundation for the Arts' Holiday Yurt as the "Grand Magus de Octubre".

@33MHz It certainly sounds tempting ... Hmmm ... Does the tent come with access to a bathroom and drinking water?
1200818
@mrpeanut yep, as I think about it, the house across the street will be uninhabited for a couple more years at least, so if the tent is pitched there, you can have the big yard, spigot, bathroom…
1200819
@33MHz oh no, you are making this more and more tempting.

@mrpeanut one possible snag is that my backyard is in the USA.
1200824
@33MHz Well, I am in the USA until September 4. So I could be free to be a yard hermit for a week, either soon or towards the end of that time. How much are you charging for rent?

@mrpeanut you'd probably have to mow the grass at some point. 😉
1201435
@33MHz How much grass are we talking about? And is there a source of food I can get to on foot, like a grocery store or something?
1201436
@mrpeanut there's a family dollar a few blocks away, and a free pantry one block away 😛

plus you'd probably have to eat at my house sometimes.

1201439
@33MHz Hmmm. That does not seem to be a lot of grass.

@33MHz which would be more convenient for you -- next week or at the end of August?
