Just as Obama's historic election came in a most challenging time in US history, Siggugardottir's(sp?) election occurred when the economy of Iceland is in absolute ruins. Apparently, the voters of both nations voted the way they did because they thought these candidates were the best for the task at hand. Frankly, I can't see why sane person would want to assume leadership of either country right now (although I volunteered for, and voted for Obama).

I guess the reason this gay/race thing is an issue is the fact that, conversely, it is not an issue! I'll be typical sexist male here though...This P.M. is smokin' like one of them geysers they've got all over Iceland.

@UpstateDubliner-

Shees, I can't believe I forgot Painted Post. I grew up in Corning, and my sister and her family live in Painted Post!

I guess familiarity breeds neglect.

Good one, Christophe; too bad only us 'sconies will get it.

You should check out Horseheads, NY. Strange name, interesting story.

"They" can't do that; the U.S. already dumps loads of our space junk in the Atlantic...we save the Pacific for weapons testing.

Tom Every has been a friend of mine for a few years, and I have the privilege of having some of his works inside and outside of my house. These pictures don't begin to show the sheer size, extent, and intricacy of his work at the Forevertron site.

Anyone who enjoyed these pix should check out some of the other links to see the great and really fun work that the Doctor has done around Wisconsin and vicinity. Tom is a generous and not-so-mad genius who has changed the history of salvage, while brightening up a lot of lives with his art, large and small.
