Modular Homes of the Future!

Today's run, 9 miles, was actually quite nice.  The temperature was in the low 70s to start and as long as I stayed in the shade, it was fine all the way through.  Nice change!  Here's hoping that it doesn't get hot and icky again (I can always dream).

Yesterday was a day off and I took a pass on the gym.  My legs are feeling a bit tired, so I thought that this was for the best.  However, I did move a couch, so I can pretend like that was exercise, despite the fact that it was not a heavy couch and I had help.

I took some more photos today and am calling this collection Modular Homes of the Future!  These are mostly from Riverhills Drive again.  I chose them because they look like they were designed in the 1960s to look like futuristic homes.  Actually, some of these homes were designed by semi-famous architects (I am not an expert, so I'm not sure on these points) and are part of the Mid-Century modern movement, but I have no idea if it is these specific homes.  Anyway, enjoy!

This is the quintessential Modular Home of the Future in my view.
Does this remind anyone else of a fort?
I've noticed that several Modular Homes of the Future hide their modularness through flora.
This one seems more Floridian, somehow.  Maybe because of the lighter color?
This one is more like a Modular Home of the Bayou
I think that this one is the most imposing of the Modular Homes of the Future.

Modular Home of the Future: Now With Silver Metallic Door!
This last one is not a Modular Home of the Future but rather a Weird Retro Home of the Past (and I didn't actually run by it today, but I did recently and felt that it was noteworthy):
