Happy Birthday, Thomas Lambert!!

Thomas: Happy Birthday, and to celebrate that special day I have a present for you: The tallest building in the world!

.



When it's finished, it will be over 700 meters tall. In western world talk, that is 2296.59 feet. Please note that a mile is 5280 feet, meaning that this building is over 1/3 of a mile tall. Note: The height of that building is the same distance above sea level as the bottom of the Virgin River Gorge. It will have 160 stories. The technical height of a building includes the usual boom or antenna on top, which can sometimes be 200 feet or more. That is being kept a secret, because when it comes to building buildings, pride and arrogance reign supreme as each builder tries to out-build the next guy.

It is being built in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, and is scheduled for completion this year.

Have a swell day.

Today we enjoyed a delicious zucchini from our garden. It tasted way better than those we get from the store! It was exciting to be enjoying the vegetables of our labor.

Happy Birthday, Stefanie!!!!

Happy birthday, Stefanie. For your birthday, the present I have for you is a town. I give you: Smith Center, KS:





Smith Center is located at 39°46′43″N, 98°47′7″W.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.2 square miles, all of it land.

Smith Center was considered the geographic center of the United States until the admission of Alaska and Hawaii into the union. Following the admission of those states, the geographic center fell in North Dakota.

If you look at an old town directory, if they had them, you'll find this to be the birth place, I believe, of Grandmother Whelchel. The name you seek is Johns.

Have a really nice day!

Good News!

I've just been offered and accepted a permanent position at the Victorville plant doing a combination of things I do now and that will move from other people as they move into other things.

We can now burn the boxes and I can remove my death watch countdown timer!

Hurray for me!
