FLOCK!!!
Nightmare stuff!
In our first house, they had flocked wall paper in the dining room and bathroom (must have had leftovers). It looked like a bordello. Asphyxiated ourselves trying to get that wallpaper off. They also had those mirror squares with cracks running through them. And everything was that 70s green-
everything-carpet and tiles and walls in the kitchen. I wouldn't move in until the whole place was painted. I was pregnant so Dan humored me. I thought it might cause brain damage to the baby, all that avocado green. I still have a Harvest gold frying pan.

Yah, I did know it's hard to get black. That's what I was thinking when I couldn't see this guy; that physical objects which absorb most light are very rare. (Isn't the max 98.5% or so? Not what one would think; not high.) The light wasn't so good, early morning; but it was weird looking. Just like......a fuzzy hole in the universe.

I figgered you'd know. :o)

Hey! Maybe he wasn't there the whole ride and Just Appeared.

Yep. 'Course. Found him a home lickety-split; and learned the value of writing a "good" ad. Gotta jerk those strings. Unfortunately, making stuff up isn't my forte, or easy; but neither is keeping a kitty. Motive. Inspiration
