Golden Brown

This morning's post from Lone Star Parson includes the music video for Golden Brown by The Stranglers. I was going to repost it, but I already did two years ago. Anyhoo, I found this on Wikipedia:

The video for "Golden Brown" was directed by Lindsey Clennell. It depicts the band members as explorers in Egypt in the 1920s and performers for a fictional "Radio Cairo".

The video is intercut with stock footage of the Giza pyramid complex, the Mir-i-Arab Madrasah in Bukhara, the Shah Mosque in Isfahan, the Great Sphinx, sailing feluccas, Bedouins riding camels, and camel racing in the United Arab Emirates. The performance scenes were filmed in the Leighton House Museum in Holland Park, London, which was also featured in the video for "Gold" by Spandau Ballet in 1983. Both videos were filmed in the Arab Hall room of the museum.

So yesterday, I wanted to take a ride to a popular place near here. I was unaware how popular it was until we arrived. For several years, people have been living off grid, buying travel trailers instead. Our site, Travel Trailer living has over 12k members.

it is easy to do the math. My truck and trailer cost about 60k. I can ditch our housing costs, 3k property tax, house payment 1000 a mo, homeowners ins 1000 a year, city tax 1500 a year. This saves me 1500 a month.

Thus I pay for the truck and trailer in 3 years and actually own something. Here are pictures of all the people who said screw it. They live here for 20 a month, free water, solar for electricity, portable tanks to dump gray and black water. Free dumpsters.

maybe this is the future once the aristocracy owns everything
