Yes. I don’t even need an excuse.

I don’t own a wealthy mansion nor have I ever owned one, but every single house I have every owned as had some bizarre quirk and set up that I don’t understand the thinking of why the previous owner or person who built it would do that.

I lived in a house for three years before a lighting strike on a tree across the road “informed”me that my house had an alarm system with a very loud siren… That was a night to remember, my family and I are watching an intense rain storm out of front window, we see and hear the lighten strike and then holy fuck an air-raid siren is going off in the closet in my TV Room.

My wife is terrified, my kid is shrieking and the dog is so freaked out he took off and basically spidermaned across the ceiling before starting to dig a hole through the floor, he was absolutely paniced.

In the middle of all this I had to find the damn siren and figure out how to stop it.

Now to the article you posted.

Newsom didn’t say he did not know about the wine cellar, he said he did not know it could hold that many bottles.

Also holy fuck, are the republiCANTs really trying to go after Newsom for his “wealth and lies”…

That’s a crap headline:

Republicans react after Gavin Newsom says he ‘didn’t even know’ about the 5,000-bottle wine cellar in his $7.5M home: ‘The lies keep coming’

He’s not saying he’s unaware of the existence of the wine cellar, he’s saying he didn’t know that it held 5,000 bottles specifically. It seems quite possible someone wouldn’t know that, and also I’m not sure why anybody should care in the first place.

At a press conference this week, Newsom was asked if he used the wine cellar to its full capacity, to which he responded, “Are you serious? Really? No, I never filled it. I didn’t even know I had that much.”
