Every house is idiosyncratic. The most stately is the five-bedroom Colonial House built by Arabian goldsmiths in the 1920s. The sexiest is the two-bedroom Penang House with a wooden bathtub parked in the living room. The most compelling is the richly decorated, century-old Chinese farmhouse overlooking the mountains and Temple Tree's 110-ft. (33.5 m) pool. There are also five "estate rooms," built into a 1940s longhouse from a rubber plantation in Ipoh. It used to house Indian workers, but not, one surmises, in the same style that guests now enjoy...
...video window. I'm not so sure. Hunched over my tiny screens lately, I've found myself riveted by Battlestar Galactica, provoked by a YouTube animation about the credit crisis and verklempt over an old video I posted of my son blowing bubbles in the bathtub. Big screen and tiny may have their differences, but where there's engagement, there's emotion. The screen that matters most is still the one where the story lingers and replays, inside your head...
...cleaning man's sake, you should expire of natural causes in a bathroom and be found quickly? Yep, for sure. Although I did see one guy who was murdered and dumped in a bathtub. He decomposed in there for an awful long time, and there was nothing easy about that cleanup, because he'd been there a month. There was all of this fluid, and the drainage system was blocked. It's not always easy to clean up a scene just because it's on a nice ceramic surface...
...Through air that shimmers in the blast furnace of a July day, you can see how far Mead's water level has fallen. White bathtub rings of mineral deposits, measuring high-water marks that grow less high every year, circle the edges of the reservoir. Today Mead's water level is 1,108 ft., down from more than 1,200 ft. in 2000. (The official drought level is 1,125 ft.) If the water continues to decline, says marine geophysicist Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, "buckle up." Barnett co-authored a study estimating a 50% chance that...
...Then I smelled smoke, and started to worry. I looked out of the peephole, and saw that the atrium looked hazy. I looked out of the window, and didn't see the fire brigade. So I filled the bathtub with water, put a towel under the door and changed into clothes I thought would work best if I had to face a fire. Some time later I went back to the peephole and couldn't see anything. The smoke was unbelievably thick. I thought now I was in serious trouble, and got ready to escape. I took the door...
