Ooooh... Hawaii :thumbsup:
So, once upon a time, there was a man, who discovered a dull brass lantern on a California beach, one morning while taking a stroll, before the sun came up. Naturally he was carrying his EDC of the day, and it glinted, just a little bit, off of this lantern.
He rubbed some of the grime off of it, and out popped a Genie!
Well you know the story, but this Genie was old and tired, and would only grant him ONE wish.
Man... "Hmmm, I've never been to Hawaii, and always wanted to go, but I am afraid of flying, and I get sea-sick, way too easily. Please build me a bridge so that I can drive there.
"
Genie... "OMG! A bridge! ... Oh NO! Anything else! Do you have any idea how much work that would be? It's almost 25 hundred miles, over 4,000 kilometers! The deep oceanic trenches, how many columns... PLEASE anything else."
Man... "Ah... ok... I've never been very good with women. Any relationship I start, I destroy within a few weeks. Tell me... what makes them tick?"
Genie... "So about that bridge, 'Do you want ONE lane or TWO?' "
:laughing:
Sorry... couldn't help myself
Thanks, I look at the statue and am reminded of Prince Charles. Must be the nose and ears, I suppose.
Yes! I can definitely see the resemblance. I wonder if the artist had him in mind?

Back in New Jersey
I took my Eagletac D25A2 out for a little ride.
The MetLife Stadium in Secaucus, NJ, is home to two American Football teams:
The New York Giants, and the Jets.
The stadium on the left, and a monstrosity on the right that is planned to be a huge shopping mall, and amusement park, or something. That orange extension is planned to be a indoor ski slope.
One more picture...
That's the stadium, about 1.5 miles away, with the Empire State Building about another 7.5 miles away in the back-ground.
