The long of it: Warriors’ Kevin Durant drops $12.05 million on oceanfront home in Malibu: Neil J. Leitereg, Los Angeles Times, 24 April 2018

Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors has shelled out $12.05 million for his own slice of beachfront in Malibu.

Set on a privately gated street, the multilevel contemporary home was originally built in 1976 and extensively remodeled five years ago. Features include open-concept living and dining rooms, wide-plank French oak floors and vaulted ceilings — a likely must-have for the 6-foot-10 basketball player.

Also within more than 5,100 square feet of space is an updated kitchen finished in Calcutta marble, a media room with a glass wine wall, a library, a movie theater, a wet bar, four bedrooms and six bathrooms. A lofted space doubles as a massage and exercise area, and an elevator serves each floor.

William Carlos Williams: By the road to the contagious hospital

Untitled (Newark): photo by Joshua Perez (StrangeGoodness), 14 April 2014

By the road to the contagious hospital
under the surge of the blue
mottled clouds driven from the
northeast -- a cold wind. Beyond, the
waste of broad, muddy fields
brown with dried weeds, standing and fallen

patches of standing water
the scattering of tall trees

All along the road the reddish
purplish, forked, upstanding, twiggy
stuff of bushes and small trees
with dead, brown leaves under them
leafless vines --

Lifeless in appearance, sluggish
dazed spring approaches --

They enter the new world naked,
cold, uncertain of all
save that they enter. All about them
the cold, familiar wind --

Now the grass, tomorrow
the stiff curl of wildcarrot leaf
One by one objects are defined --
It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

But now the stark dignity of
entrance -- Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted, they
grip down and begin to awaken

So what do you guys think. Napoleon. Burrito. Spliff. Toy horn. None of the above.
TC25 April 2018 at 03:33
On the other tiny hand... Yo Napoleon. Don't look down.
TC25 April 2018 at 03:37
Because, you know, that's like Hong Kong, down there... virtually disappearing, so very tiny, so very far beneath your mini imperial overflying supermaxx micron craft!!

OK. Word from boiler room the poll numbers are already starting to come in. Tremendous response from outer districts, people. Frankly we're overwhelmed. For those of you who've requested confidentiality, no worries. Discretion. What a tremendous night it's been.
