Favorite Mobile Home Size— 12 x 60. I had a 10-wide for years and it was smart for one person with no fear of winds over 40 mph and a lot less stuff than I had. Go much larger than 12-wide and you might as well dig a basement, add a veranda, and hoist the American Flag. Thank you.

Last but definitely not least...

Ideal Woman— playful muse, beautiful inside and out, no dependents or dependencies, conversant in topics ranging from ultimate reality to consensual power exchange. Enthusiasm for modeling optional. She inspires me to greatness and I do same for her. For more on ideal woman click here.
