Built in 1853 for socialite Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones in Rhinebeck, New York, Wyndclyffe Castle sold this month for a mere $120,000.  Most interesting fact is the currently rundown and deserted estate gave "birth to the idiom 'Keeping up with the Joneses,'" when first built.    I guess Joneses come, and Joneses go.    news

"Maya Donnelly awoke to what sounded like thunder in the early morning hours, but dismissed it as a typical monsoon storm and went back to sleep."   Later she found the about 26 pound package (probably from a smuggler's plane) of marijuana that had fallen from the sky and through the carport of her house.    (I hate it when that happens.)   news                

Principle in the type:  "It is in the home that we form our attitudes, our deeply held beliefs. It is in the home that hope is fostered or destroyed. Our homes are to be more than sanctuaries, they should also be places ... where the storm stops at the door, where love reigns and peace dwells.”                 Thomas S. Monson
