OH MY GOSH! Flannelman, you really did it! :lol:  So still out in the middle of nowhere and still nothing for this fireplug to do but stand and wait for...something... I wonder if it will need a new coat of paint and fresh plumbing by the time they make it useful! :rolleyes:

Mick, I don't get it either. We got the same stuff here. Just doesn't make sense. Government builds apartments  that they don't maintain for huge amounts of our hard earned tax money and then 10 years later they condemn it all. Gosh, those buildings stand vacant for 10 more years costing the community more money to patrol them - we won't even mention of the number of people camping in them or the many arson fires started that threaten the rest of the neighborhood...Until, finally! They decide to knock it all down, but in this economy not many are willing to rebuild without government funding so we then go back to the original landscape ... a huge vacant lot, overgrown with weeds, trash and varmits where people who once lived in those governement-built apartments now throw their bed rolls. We now have come full-circle except me, the taxpayer is poorer for paying stupidly used taxes and is about to lose our own home and have to go looking for some government-subsidized housing! (I'll shut up now...)  :unsure:

Piet, yours is much easier to understand.  It makes perfect sense, right? Mike and Lena wanted the tallest headstone in the cemetery but they were short of cash so instead of a giant oblisk they had the boys throw up a towering windmill. Just as good as an oblisk and its cheaper - AND it commands just as much attention ... am I right?
