PING PONG TRICKS
THE CLIMATRON: a climate-controlled dome in everyone's backyard by 1999. Fascinating idea. I'm still a bit sad that the Hyatt O'Hare (where the Covenant Midwinter Conference is held 75% of the time) removed their doomed swimming pool and tropical retreat during their most recent remodel. It was my favorite part of the whole hotel. I loved sitting in there in the warmth and humidity watching the snow accumulate outside on the seams of the glass dome. ~ The Atlantic

Well, it's not a tropical retreat, but its a dome: the University of Chicago Regenstein Library addition. You can watch the snow pile up over you there!
