In a trip through the forney transportation museum there is a vehicle dating
back to late 1800 or very early 1900 (forget time)  but it is designed
similar to an old closed horse carriage and laid out with the furniture like
an old parlor with a couple couches and chairs and carpeting. Was also
steerable from two locations. Right at front and about halfway back in the
conversing area.  That vehicle also had some thing I hadnt seen on a vehicle
for that era.  Curved glass at the corners.  (with that center steering in
the conversation area position I thought of today with cell phones)

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
