These days, everything I buy seems to have a built-in digital clock.
I think it's pretty neat, except when I have to move the clocks ahead
an hour or back an hour for daylight savings time. Power failures are
even more frustrating, because all my clocks behave differently when
the power comes back on. The clock on my refrigerator resets itself
to 12:00 and keeps time from there, while the one on my microwave
continues from the time at which power went off. My coffee maker has
a battery backup, so it isn't affected by power failures. I left for work one morning, verifying that the clocks were all synchronized. I called home at 1pm to check for messages on my answering machine, but when I returned home at the end of the day, I discovered that my clocks read 6:45, 5:30, and 5:15. When was the power out and what time did I get home? |

Each of these clues defines someone's living space, expressed as a
rhyming phrase of the form "___ for ___". For example, "chicken
coops" suggests "dens for hens". Can you figure out who inhabits the
locales listed below?
