yep, yep. Are you at UNM or just working in the 505?

And for others not in Albuturkey...there really is a ecclectic hotel covered in toys, stuffed animals and the like...very route 66.

I know a guy who 'clad' his house in hay in Athens GA.

For you ABQ folks, didn't somebody do a house 'clad' in used tires filled w/ sand?

In Mitchell, SD they do the clad the Corn Palace every year with ears of corn.

Then there was that-thar kool Ice House in 'Die Another Day.'
