   I just got a nice mental picture of a Raptor sitting kind of off level on   
   the ridge with a crooked little stovepipe sticking out of the roof.   
   All he would need, where he was, would be a nice awning attatched to it. Bed   
   and cookstove and a picnic table under it. Mosquito netting. There aren't   
   many days there that the weather would require him to be inside.   
   If he was careful with his fuel, those things are pretty energy efficieant.   
   Ya know, flying around in space, I bet they have pretty good insulation and   
   a good heater. when he got nostalgic, he could sit in the drivers seat and   
   go "Vroom! Vroom!"   
   And a kick ass tape deck. (To go with the phones and such on Galactica.)
