Ice Bucket Challenge?

The New York Times did a piece on a home, if that’s the word, in New York. The dentist who left Ukraine during a prior administration wanted a piece of, say, St. Peter’s Basilica, he said, y’know, that kind of presentation.

How much had he spent building on the lot of the razed Victorian, they wanted to know.

Oh, I gave up counting after $10M, he waved that away.

So. For $25,000,000 you too can rival Felon47’s gold-leafed-everything. Although I do have to say I like that stained-glass star up there, forgive me, I do.

And! A bucket shower! (Somehow the Times did not include a photo. I mean, like, everybody know what they meant, right?)

What. Is a bucket shower.

I got suckered in. I googled. I found photo #17. I…I…

Do you have to donate to the ALS Foundation every time you use it? That’s all I can figure out.

All that opulence, and a bucket shower? And only a one-car garage? (A big consideration for me, up here where the snow flies) I guess money really doesn’t buy taste…

That place is cuckoo! I mean, “Sculpted griffins”? What the what? Not only do I not want to live there, I can’t imagine wanting to live there. It’s too far gone.
I like the star, too, though.
