One lane bowling alley
Our friends invited our family to spend an enjoyable weekend with them at their parents' "cabin" in the mountains. One of the other "cabins" nearby has a rather long and narrow building on their property and our friends told us that the owners are rather strange in an eccentric way. The gentleman built this building to house his own one lane bowling alley complete with ball retrieval. They also have a couple of really old snow mobiles with homemade dummies on them in different places around and above their house. This reminded me of the eccentric things that I would hear about of a very rich man in Amarillo, Texas who liked to spend his money on odd things. He is somewhat famous for burying several old Cadillacs in a row halfway in the ground with the back half sticking up in the air, or placing a white wall on a bluff so when the sun hit it just right it would make the top of the bluff appear to float in the air. On a smaller scale, I remember hearing that he likes to fall asleep with rain and lightning so he had some special machine installed to simulate this for him outside his window. There were other things, but I can't remember all of them. Do you have any stories of eccentric people you know or have heard about that have done things that have made you go hmmm?

Yep, there really are eccentric people like that. We have seen the cadillacs. In fact the scene has been in several magazines and it is amazing how many people will walk out into that field to view them more closely. This eccentric guy has a path for people to walk to them. Ever so often the cadillacs have been pulled up and moved to another spot.
