Another Haiku from Soggy Sox III. If you recall, Soggy Sox III is not my cat, and Soggy Sox III is is not their real name. But I cannot remember their real name, and their human did not offer a correction when last I Haikued them. So now they are permanently Soggy Sox III.

I too, would like sometimes to hide in a basket. But I would need a really big basket. There is a really big basket available for purchase east of Columbus Ohio, off highway 16. But at eight and a half million dollars, it is slightly out of my basket-budget. I would ask all you loyal fans and friends and family to pitch in a couple bucks, but I am pretty sure I do not have enough fans or friends or family to raise the necessary capital. Maybe I could find richer fans…

I don’t think that basket would actually be as cozy as the one Soggy Sox III occupies. But I do think it would make a cool Bed & Breakfast. It’s bigger than it looks, there would totally be enough room to build out a commercial kitchen and add a banquet room or two. And it sits on twenty-something acres, so there’d be room to add a pool and koi pond, and wedding chapel, and an amphitheater.

So now I need a little more money for architects, and permits, and construction, and landscaping, and advertising, and operating costs for probably a year maybe eighteen months. Better make it an even twenty mil.

Ok! I’m gonna go ask Bezos and Zuck for a grant. You all have a wonderful Wednesday. Take a nap if you need it. Don’t forget to have a snack. And spend some time in your favorite basket.
