LOL! I don't know. I do know that the owner of the property thought having a red door when I'm sharing a 4 acre pasture with 3 uncut bulls was funny.

I found it less than funny one morning when 2 of the bulls wound up on my porch. I don't believe in the bull/red color thing, but I was close that morning. ;)

It was a joke, the movie was actually called Behind the Green Door. When I was in my early 20’s I lived for a year and a half in a small one room geodesic dome on a platform held up by telephone pole stilts. I was in college and only had to pay 30 a month. There were geodesic domes scattered around Carbondale Illinois because Buckminster Fuller taught there and I took his World Game class. The only entrance to the dome was from a trap door in the platform. I would pull my VW beetle up under the dome, step on the fender then the hood and could get inside. Dog and cat quickly learned. It had electricity and a small oil heater. No water, there was a hand pump at the back of an old farmhouse no one lived in. I had to do any dishes there, cold water on, and would set plastic jugs out with water to warm up for a back porch shower. I was in college with a full scholarship for tuition but nothing for room and board.I remember a restaurant in the college town that one night a week had all you can eat spaghetti for 2.00. I’d get a glass of water too and take some lemon sugar packets they had out for tea and make my own lemonade. Ah those were the days / NOT!!
