Sculpture at Work

[stickmaker]

They finally started assembling the abstract sculpture at work. For the life of me, I couldn't see how it would go together. Turns out that's 'cause it won't. There's something not fitting right.

This project has been a debacle from the start. The management won't tell us anything about it. We have some old news that it's supposed to represent all aspects of transportation, which makes sense since this is the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet building, but the only connection with transportation is that part of it has a stylized front of a car. They spent far too many man-hours and too much money constructing the stands the support posts go on. (Gee, what do I know, I'm only a civil engineer...) One of the stands, when installed, rocked. The solution was to kick a piece of plywood under part of the edge. And now the actual sculpture won't mount on the two supports.

Our tax dollars at wrok.

Way off topic--Derek has a friend who is interested in talking to you. I know he's interested in trains; don't know if he's thinking about transportation engineering or what. He's definitely a geek who is getting picked on in school and will probably come into his own after high school. Would you be willing for me to give him your email address?

Thanks!

Sure, as long as he doesn't expect more than some casual exchanges.
