That's a "rolling chair" along the lines of the ones seen in the Atlantic City photos.

A Rooster?

That rooster sure looks to me like it has a bill and webbed feet.

What else would you need, except of course a baby carriage and a duck?

[I think that's more of a grownup carriage. And a rooster. - Dave]

Thatch Masters

Submitted by fanhead on Fri, 02/19/2010 - 6:23am.

There is still a solid demand for thatched roofs down here. Every beach hotel with a tiki bar has one, in addition to many inland hotels striving for that "beach" ambiance. The Seminoles build the best ones.They also run a pretty mean casino.

Jungle Capitalism

One thing that can be said about Joe, he has the entrepreneurial spirit. He knew how to market his alligators and his residence.
