I can’t wait for you to see my state-ot-the-art appartment in Higgledy Piggledy House!

When you reach the building, the travelator transports you to the hallway. Once there, take the elevator up to the fifteenth floor.  Hop out and stand on east-moving travelator til it reaches the next elevator then go up to the thirty-third floor. Cross to the opposite elevator, and go up to the sixty-forth floor where the right hand travelator takes you to my apartment, five hundred and twenty-five, the one that pokes out the side!

Sorry that’s not right – take the travelator to the hallway, then….

Prod a Froggie to visit the squares!

    Haha! Love the directions to your new apartment- but I’m sure I’ll get lost on the way.

      • Sadje's avatar Sadje October 1, 2025 / 18:20

        Very likely 🤓

    I know right! I have no desire to live in that building…..

    That building is spectacular. I’d love to have a duplex in there 😺

      Why am I not surprised? I have to agree with you, I really like it too!

    OMG. No thank you, lol. I’m dizzy just looking at the picture.

    😅 Trying to find that apartment would indeed be a nightmare – nicely done Keith 🙌

    Perhaps it would be best to meet on neutal territory

    So funny, Keith. Is that a New York accent? 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 3, 2025 / 13:07

      I’m not sure what accent it’s supposed to be, but I thought I’d have a go at something different!!

      • Lisa or Li's avatar Lisa or Li October 3, 2025 / 18:35

        I appreciate the endeavor. Keep up the good work, my friend.

    you always craxk me up, Keith!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 3, 2025 / 13:16

      If I did, I’d worry about how to find my way out!

  9. Dale's avatar Dale October 2, 2025 / 03:11

    One would think that if a travelator exists, it would be smart enough to get you to where you’re going at the first button!

    Or… it’s a great way to avoid unwanted visitors 😉

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 3, 2025 / 13:24

      You’d think so, wouldn’t you? It would be nice not to have cold-callers ding-donging my door bell!

      • Dale's avatar Dale October 3, 2025 / 13:28

        You would. Oh hell naw, that would be uber annoying!

    thanks for taking us inside your Higgledy Piggledy House!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 3, 2025 / 13:27

      My pleasure, you now need to read it in reverse to find your way out!

  11. Anita's avatar Anita October 2, 2025 / 11:50


    Interesting! Truly Higgledy Piggledy 🙂


    Confusion- left or right and which side is right? 🙂

    I have zero sense of direction (it was the only thing about me that concerned the exhusband). I get lost in a small clinic when I go to medical appts…but they kindly shove me toward the exit (which is better than the last medical office–where I ended up in a stairwell where the sign said, “Roof”). Lord have mercy.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 3, 2025 / 13:40

      Oh no! It’s about time someone invented a GPS chip for the human body!

      • Rene Heartsong's avatar Rene Heartsong October 3, 2025 / 18:56

        You are SO right–so get to work, Funny Man, invent!! Have a blessed day😊

    Looks like a collaboration where everyone (almost) finished their part of the job on time, and one collaborator didnt show up.


    As always, a fun read from Keith


    Cheers,

    fantastic. this looks like something that was written far, far into the future—almost as if time itself leaped ahead creatively. 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 3, 2025 / 13:54

      I had a vision….!

      *for the first time in ages I didn’t have to rescue your comment from my spam folder, hopefully that’s a sign of things to come in the future!

    Sounds like me getting lost in some large hotel.

  17. Chris Hall's avatar Chris Hall October 4, 2025 / 10:29

    Wow! What a wonderful view… I’d love to go there! But where is that hotel room?

    Dear Keith,


    I’m going to guess this guy won’t get many visitors. Clever little story.


    Shalom,


    Rochelle

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 5, 2025 / 16:43

      Thanks, Rochelle.There are probably quite a few people wandering around looking lost!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 5, 2025 / 16:53

      It’s hardly an example of literary grandiloquence, but I’m pleased you enjoyed it’s maximal simplicity! 

  19. gc1963's avatar gc1963 October 5, 2025 / 17:12


    Enjoyed. Very easy way to your house.

    Sounds like a right pain in the…
