A short while back, on civilized ku # 991-94, JB (no link provided - but I know where he lives) asked:

They still have the Clinton "white house" up over there?

The Clinton "White House" that JB is referring to is an all white outhouse (in disrepair) - placed in a conspicuous roadside position - with the now much faded words "White House for Bill and Hillary" painted on the door. And yes, it's still there.

The "White House" is the work of the aforementioned Onchiota curmudgeon. His residence - a very large (former inn?) ramshackle-esque structure - is festooned with a number quirky signs, most of which lead me to believe he is indeed a curmudgeon or, at best, left alone. However, that said, he does seem to have a sense of humor.

We need more people like him, maybe a curmudgeon but he puts a smile on my face.
