Here in Maine there is a large part of the population that are into the pursuit of art. The town of Bethel Maine showed this pursuit in spades. What they did was build a 110 ft. 1 in. snowman or snow person if you will, with almost a photographic copy of one of our senators, Olympia Snow, that is if she were 110 feet tall. The snow person's mirror image of Senator Snow is so precise and life like, that a elderly gentleman complained to the snow person for 20 minutes about high taxes before he realized that he was talking to the snow Olympia Snow.
With the new snowperson, it takes the crown of tallest snowperson, also held by the town of Bethel Maine, from the previous incumbent ex govenor, Angus King snowman. A little known fact is that while the real Govenor King was at home with a bad cold his snowman likeness stepped into his seat at the state house for 3 days without skipping a beat. If it was not for the large puddle of water under the governors chair, after 3 days of being inside, no one would have known at all.

I think you're jealous that they didn't model the snowman after you, Uncle Willie!!

Willie,
Where do you come up with this stuff??? It never ceases to amaze me the twist you put on things. I must say I did enjoy this post better than your Easter greeting. And you better watch out when you get back to class tomorrow. Dede is on the warpath for your bunny games...she is afraid you are putting ideas into crazed minds who may follow through on your plans.... What next a real donkey instead of a pinata at a kid birthday party????? You are a sick, sick man...maybe you should seek help.
Mary
