#architect problems

It's multiple times a day.

So.....

Jefferson is falling and it's here:

bc you know, surrounding matches, BUT! They were talking here:

And there's just one place in the whole house where it can be, here:

BUT! Emma is heading from this room to another in here:

And she met there Mary and Jefferson came in, but it doesn't matter, what matters is the fact that Jefferson is falling out of this window:

So how is it possible that she moved from the ground floor to the 2nd floor if she just travelled from door to door through a simple hallway. Magic.

One of my uncles, a guy with a very dry and self-effacing sense of humor, is an architect. Back when most of mom’s family lived on the southern Oregon coast, he designed a bank built in Downtown Coos Bay... which is basically a filled-in mudflat. Liquefaction zone central. We were down visiting while they were putting the 80′ cement pilings in -- or trying to. Or, well, they had no trouble at ALL putting the pilings in, but they were, uh... losing them.

In the mud. 80 feet of cement.

My uncle, with his usual good humor, was quietly joking about whether the pilings would come out somewhere off the coast of Madagascar or underneath the McDonald’s next door, and whether his best course of action was taking the money for the job and fleeing to South America, or re-branding their firm as “LS Architects: Our Buildings Almost Never Fall Down!”

The last bit has become a bit of a family in-joke, so when dad sent my uncle the picture of his miracle floating framing, and W replied (in his usual quiet way) that it “Looks good, great way to use up small pieces!” I reminded them both that W’s buildings almost never fall down.

This morning my uncle responded with “That’s right. Very rarely.

This is one of my main problem with Bauhaus. I do know it’s not completely their blame, but I feel as if this one sense you speak has turned worse after them.
