Poodles are costly pooches- saw this on the display case. It is a small trinket about 10-1/2” x 10-1/2” footprint. Who cares how much it cost- right? I adjusted the shutter so you didn’t get a sticker shock…………and adjusted the shutter so you will be sticker shocked. If you broke it down to cubic inches (551.25 cu. in.), it doesn’t look as bad as it comes out to $ 19.95 per cu. in. :sarcastic:

Cut the daily fancy coffee drinks, your fancy 2 week treats, curb your wood purchase, curb your tool purchase, etc. and you can end up with this lovely trinket, that one of your kids or grandchildren or your dog will end up accidentally playing with…….

Let's see.....hhmmmm......what is the moral of the story here?

Either NYC is finally as cool as Nashville is - (although, technically I saw mine in Brentwood - but only 2 blocks from the Nashville City Limits).

or

That both cities have at least one person (Gadsooks...Mordious) that has dranken the kool-aid and has an evident disconsulant urgency to be seen as cool!

P.S. - now Nashville must still be cooler than NYC - at the same store in the same county - the same 2 blocks, there was a white one parked last Friday. This strong arms it into the uber-cool realm, as, it's not even paint, but a "wrap".

Lil Mikey gots to go and sit under his rock for a while and garner some perspective!!!

The artist is counting on there being people with more money than common sense I guess.

I’ve seen a couple of these cyber trucks in the city about the same time frame as yours. I was kind of shock to see this in a traditional part of the city and I guess someone has the loot seeing that the row houses in that block is classified as in a historical district and they cost about in the neighborhood of $ 10 mil.

Are you saying you rather have a DeLorean li’l Mikey?

The real full scale one (a rendition of it; “Balloon red rabbit”) is in the ground lobby of an office building (51 Astor Place) not really accessible to the public- basically a prisoner there and placement was forced like it needs to be in a grander space where the sculpture is visible 360 degrees. It is 14 feet and sold for stupid money like in the $ 55 mil range.

We had 2 of them trucks at a local Walmart, at the same time. I was shocked but guess I should not be. We have dozens of folks that are section 8 driving Teslas and BMW's.

Gots a few of those around also. Years ago, finished up an apartment complex in a small town in west TN that was a FHA rent subsidy program. Meaning that you had to be struggling financially in order to live there - and your rent was adjusted to what your income was. The property manager left an access door open and some plumbing froze. One young lady was pretty pissed as the water had gotten into her clothes closet and she started getting all over me and sent me a bill, with receipts, for dresses that cost $2K and boots that cost $1K. I wrote her back (this was before e-mail and texts) and informed her that she needed to direct her complaint to the property manager, and reminded her that she lived in a rent subsidy apartment and I'm sure the manager would like to know that she had a closetful of $2K dresses and $1K boots. She fell silent! Lil Mikey gots a mean streak!

Yesterday on the N. Fork of the Santiam. Beautiful day, warm enough to wade wet, caught fish often enough to keep things interesting. About 90% rainbows, the rest whitefish. Been a while since I've boulder hopped, climbing over and under logs, slid down road embankments and balance in awkward positions for long periods - I can feel it today.

Click beetles are amazing. The mechanism that allows them to "click" has been studied for years but never duplicated. Kind of like the mantis shrimp that can create an underwater supersonic boom that stuns its prey.
