Thanks Gillfan, that was a fun read. Poor Kong -the indignity of having birds nest in his head!

That story reminds me of how I miss those crazy roadside attractions I used to see as a kid when we would drive through California. Lots of dinosaurs, giants, Indian teepees....I miss that stuff. it gave the countryside some special charm.

Those roadside attractions were everywhere back in the day. That's a piece of Americana I'd love to see make a comeback!
