Highly rated. It could not be otherwise.

We adhere to the highest standards. No, higher. Much higher.

We are in orbit.

Come and see us sometime.

Your holiday home in the stars awaits.

A stream runs through it.

The trees are blue, green and in between.

We speak our language and we are already learning yours!

Smoke rising from a twig-lit campfire.

We had erected the tents, gathered firewood, drawn water and diced vegetables.

Things were roasting, we were toasty-warm and telling silly, funny jokes.

They said it had a kick.

It was not a mule, a drink or a hand-cranked car starter.

We wondered if they knew who they were talking to.

What could the kick be or not be?

Where would it come from and through what?

Now we are ready to serve you. What you want, not what we want.

A teak deck, a copper counter, a silk wall-lining.

We are the best, you are the best.

The best is best.

There was text, twenty pages of it.

Poof! Dissapeared.

Good thing is we can still think, write and invent.

Yesterday’s lost booty can become tomorrow’s masterpiece in waiting.

Then there were four.
