Desert nose, no bounds

my bathroom--Barbara told my father and i to pee in the sink cause it flows out to the garden(plus no toilet)


SOLAR PANELS they 've got 10 here and produce more electricity than they can store or use!!!
Barbara calls them cute cause they turn with the sun as it moves,like Sunflowers.
