Just about. They must have gotten a deal at one of the local concrete yard art distributors. Probably got a deal based on sheer tonnage. Im getting ready to saddle up and go do a couple of inspections so I will make a point of going by this place today. It is in one of the "coveted" areas. Actually, there are two of them. The locals seem to think these two guys are related.

A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

I didn't inspect this. I caught a glimpse of it in a side street and circled back to get a better look and a couple pics, half expecting to be greeted by a Mad Hatter, a hookah-smoking rabbit, or Gerry Beaumont wearing a crown.

Keith;

As an English Professor, can you find some synonyms for "tacky"?

Jeffy, you are SUCH a poet

I would add, self-indulgent, silly, pretentious and kust plain dumb.

But, hey! It's their house. If they like it, who am I to disagree.
