If Bezos needs an evil villain lair for his secret headquarters, I know a fortress in the American desert with three-foot-thick stone walls, solar and diesel electricity, and its own water facilities, perched on a mountain ridge for maximum visibility 150 miles from anywhere meaningful.

Last I saw, it was for sale for $750k.

Not the same one. But good to know there are options. Maybe we can start a bidding war?

But they already have one! These photos are so spot on, Kevin Spacey in his best time couldn't have done this.

More importantly... do those bathrooms come with toilet paper?

We used to ask if we could buy backup batteries already charged. "Oh ... No reason."

Like so many of the good things in life, this is not on the internet.
