Tent-ations!


We still, in the U.S. have an extremely strong Puritan strain running through our culture.






That's why I do not expect to seet anything like this in our U.S. stores for years to come, if ever.

What do you think?  Don't you think it's silly to think that everything that is utilitarian should also be ugly?

These are made in England, and they are not cheap but you know, there is something called economies of scale......if manufacturers thought more people would buy one, the costs might go down.  

At least if you had a tent like these, you might not have such a hard time finding your campsite!  Found them at the NY Times here.

Did you have a good weekend?  Any camping plans?

  8. The bottom tent would be nice for pitching in a backyard under a tree some summer day and reading all afternoon (presupposes: existence of backyard, awesome tree, the luxury of a totally free summer afternoon).
