The Pyramid Barge.
It's rare to find someone who's been on The Pyramid Barge but even rarer to find someone who hasn't seen it. Launched about two decades ago from unknown origins, The Pyramid Barge quickly became an icon of the Central Waterway, making trips through the busiest thoroughfares and holding its own against raging currents and the wakes of lumbering behemoths transporting ore and goods up and down the river's many ports.
Some days the barge would pass by silently without signs of a single soul on board; Some days raucous music would fill the air as its paddles slapped through the chop and smoke billowed from its stacks. Occassionally you'll even see a person or a small group on deck enjoying the weather, fishing, or lounging.
There's enough room on the barge for a small community, yet you'd be lucky to find anyone who plausibly claimed to have set foot in one of its many mysterious rooms. If a vessel approaches alongside, they are ignored. If anyone attempts to board, the barge has shown surprising maneuverability. One group successfully hoisted its members onto the main deck under the cover of darkness which almost immediately resulted in all lights onboard going out and each member of the invading crew promptly expelled over its sides by unknown means.
Legend says that one sailor, moments from death, was plucked from the rapids after his steamship capsized and nursed back to health only to be dropped at his doorstep a month later with little to no recollection of his time aboard the barge. He tells of warmth, hospitality, and an unending menu of delectable food options, but when asked for details or elaboration, even when it comes to the structure of the barge, he simply states "it was a fine ship. One meant for the man who built her." and would constantly hazard against any attempted boarding.

I don't know why, but since I started this blog, the converted Chapel on the Bay, in Palmetto, Florida has been on the market at least 4 or 5 times. And, here it is, for sale again. 2bds, 2ba, $699K. The original owner spend $1.3M to convert it.)
The floating chapel has served as a picturesque wedding venue and also as a short-term rental or Airbnb. The former Chapel is being sold fully furnished. It's ready for the next owner to live in at the marina or operate as a rental.
It's really nice inside and has a vaulted church ceiling.
Note the gothic doors and stained glass windows. I don't care for the black theater recliner seating, they're too bulky and casual for this lovely space.
In the corner of the living area is a nice round glass table.
A spiral staircase in the middle of the space toes up to a loft.
In the corner of the living area is a nice kitchen with granite counters.
Hallway to the primary bedroom and bath.
The downstairs bedroom and bath are good sizes.
The 2nd bedroom is in the loft.
Isn't this nice? It's so cozy.
There's even a sitting area up here.
And, this is the 2nd bath.
It's picturesque at night, but there doesn't seem to be many other homes, just lots of boats.
This is nice, they have fireworks on the water.

I can't decide what to do about a/b/o luzosan. When they get the Marry.
Sanji & zoro have a house boat that was a wedding gift from everyone. Zeff, the rest of the chefs, Johnny, Yosaku, and Koushirou. What do I do with the boat and where r they sleeping. The three of them r together so shuldnt they have thire own room? But then, usopp will be alone, and wouldn't he feel isolated? Or should I just rework the Marry so they eatch have thire rooms? Shuld they leave thire wedding gift behind?
