They're building a castle ...

... in Arkansas, of all places.  I would so love to see this.

I'm also tempted to roll it into a piece of futuristic SF.

As I said when a friend of mine also liked to this (great minds and all that):

You can hire these people - they will work anywhere in the US:

And of course, these people in France have been working on a castle project for over a decade now, and probably inspired the people in Arkansas.

I must keep this in mind in case I ever wind up with entirely too much money! I figure if I'm going to do practical things like buying wolf habitat and collecting all the apple cultivars, I can justify something purely indulgent like building myself a castle. *ponder* I could always put one of the libraries in it, and then it would have a practical purpose too. *nod* That'll do.

Indeed!

And who would not want a castle in the middle of wolf habitat? I mean, it fits perfectly. So do apple orchards.

I wasn't actually planning to put them all in the same place. I'll need at least two orchards for the apples, for instance: one northern and once southern. But now that you mention it, being able to sit in a castle and listen to wolfsong would be ... a fine contribution to the world. I'd just have to put the castle on a corner of the habitat, like the cabin for visiting scientists, to avoid annoying the wolves with traffic.
