Speaking of overloaded donkeys... I saw a pic in one of the "for sale" pages which showed a Greek guy riding sidesaddle on some cargo strapped to the back of what looked like an underenthusiastic burro. Tough being an animal.
If cash were no object (great suggestion, the lottery; instead, I think I'll sell squares, 50-50 style, on when I'll be hit by lightning) I'd build a modern home in the Roman style (atrium/tablinum/triclinium/peristyle/etc) on a Greek island. :^)
I’ll get some quotes. (lol)
