    - hmm, well spin it as once you get done with the work, you can turn that container into a backyard lounge spot. -- nm - tRuMaN May 22, 08:27 4
      - i'd be down to put a little awning on it - keep the big door end as storage, make a little chill spot in the other half. -- nm - colin May 22, 08:33 3
        
        exactly. -- nm - tRuMaN May 22, 08:36

    - You’d think at least nighttime would be dark. -- nm - mafic May 22, 08:14 1
      - they don't call it nighttime until the fall. -- nm - colin May 22, 08:14
- You can still have tequila at your desk—and 🌮 s! -- nm - Flavorize May 22, 08:04
