[Sleeping with the fishes:](http://cnnfn.com/1999/10/30/life/q_liveaboard/) a CNN story about the "liveaboard" community -- those people who live on their boats. I've often thought this would be a nice thing to do. Besides a houseboat, I'd need a plot of land for a garden. If I found one waterside, I wouldn't need to pay a marina for a slip. And with broadband satellite connections becoming available, I could "telecommute" from just about anywhere.
