What happened to our world while we were at work? Preparation for an uncertain future due to the decreasing stocks of oil, global warming, and the collapsing economy.
I wrote a little state of the mcnalan piece on the main site here.

So many people find denial a more comfortable strategy for the future, for there seem no good answers. True, alternative energies can't replace oil, being a drop of sunshine compared to an ocean of crude. HOWEVER, when you have NONE, even a drop is a lot. You can't change the world, or me, but you sure can change you. Get solar, get wind, get gardening, while you can.

Casa Blanca has less of a seraglio look this year, more of a back-yard look. Your arrangement of cross-tensioners looks like the thing my dad used to do with wooden gates to keep them square. His method involved twisting a stick or a spare screw-driver/broken wrench etc., in the diaginal wires so he could take up any slack that developed over time.
Enjoy your sunshine - we are having Oregon Slushies here - snow/sleet/rain topped off with a mild freeze.
If you mean in the sense of a Turkish Harem, it is definitely less that and more back yard. I too got the cross bracing idea from my fencing past on the farm, however without wire it serves more to stop the slides from bowing in when the wind is strong.
The "compound" has been almost to freezing here many times in the last two weeks, ice once in the grey water drain flex pipe. But the sun drives away my blues! I continue to transition, and hope to have my feet under me soon so I can write more.
Everything here seems fractured for me, less social fabric, more cold wind, more injuries. Hmmm.
