      You have a very unique life and it's so Cool that your resume dovetails right into your jobs! Kudos! The Lighthouse "caretaker", the Ships caretaker, and Hotel Manager, and you are having fun while doing it!! The thing that gets me though, is that L O N G commute from the Hotel to the Ship... How do you handle it?? 😆😆😆😆!
      The Vaporous Guests are in most hotels that are over 100+ years old..... We have a few here at the Hotel Congress downtown, at the Copper Queen in Bisbee(I didn't get to see them...), and in my home town of Douglas, The Gadsden.
      I'd pay money😁 just to watch Casa Blanca, Key Largo, or any old B&W movies in the Ships "Theater".. lol! That would be a blast! Yes, I watched both "episodes". Again, very cool!
      Have fun and enjoy yourself!

      I wonder if when she gets bored she starts channeling all her inner American horror story characters. But plays w/ her stuffed dolls instead. 🥴 I need to be studying. All my munchkins toys r gonna be my pretend residents. Or if I need the challenging kind, I'll just practice on my bb. Sigh, I wish I had enough funds to be this quirky.also, nevermind. I take that back. I'm not living on the freaking ocean. I'm not sure if I'd even live in that haunted hotel. But maybe. I'm broke. Let alone her kind of work. I already feel nauseous

      Yeah this is a bit odd. There's an entire video by the same channel dedicated to her life on "an Old World War II Cargo Ship" that, best as I can tell, makes no mention of the fact that she also lives here. I mean hey, I skipped around, maybe I missed it. But I'd expect this video to start with "Hey, we're following the same woman from the previous video and she **also** lives here!"

    I am so impressed about how you don’t let your ego rule your production style. It comes across as confident and inquisitive; too often I have seen what would have been an interesting topic turned off for me by the producer over-narrating or over-inserting themselves into the story. You handled the message perfectly!

    I was going to say hey! You put the lady on the ships picture in a different video. What's up!
    It got me to tune in on another video.
    Esrly 2000, I was in San Francisco and came across a building that had a small corner store and an Italian restaurant next to it. It was multi story and the top rooms could be rented out.
    It was built in 1921.
    I was seriously looking at buying the olace, especially since it already had commercial tenants.
    I should have, but missed that opportunity.
    I can only imagine how much its value has grown.
