some friends in AZ had a neighbor who knocked down all the walls in their one story house and turned it into a sprawling studio type of thing, and then built a "pod" to sleep in in the back yard which was basically four walls, a roof and floor, a queen size bed, two night stands, a sliding glass door, a small skylight, an air conditioner, and a small porch all sitting two feet above the ground and surrounded by corrugated steel. i really wish i had pictures because it was the coolest thing and i'm probably doing a horrible job describing it. they could walk out of thier bedroom and sit on thier porch naked if they wanted to without any neighbors seeing them.

A friend of mine lives in one of those in Bloomington, Indiana. She loves it. The army used to give them away. She thinks they still might—I don't know.

Naturally, they are of the past now.
But what happened to them?
