That woman had a facelift, Rcky?
She should have just kept the old one. How much worse could it have been?
In all seriousness, though, I lost all respect for her when she made a heartsick couple wait (to disseminate important info on their missing child) through a 20 minute segment entitled "Rosie versus The Donald: Round 3".

That's an interesting anecdote, Saul ...
Perhaps you should consider sending it to "Reader's Digest".
This isn't quite the same thing, but one time, my uncle (who's a doctor) was visiting a very sick patient and he had a Freudian slip and told the nurse to "Just leave that chart at the foot of the dead."

Brothers! They're such a pain. Love the Teddy Roosevelt line. Sounds
like something I'd say. Like that time I was helping this lady put a bunch of big containers in her car, when I said, "Ya know, you can dispose of a few kids with these; they're just the right size." She laughed and said, "I hope it doesn't come to that." I aksed what she did for a living. She said she ran a Day Care facility. Now I worry that I might be an accessory to a crime...
Gotta love moments like that...

because I was referring to the sculptor (of the Odin statue).
He was born in New Jersey, not Roosevelt (who was born in NY).

Absolutely, Enigmatic. In fact, I know the sculptor.
Who also owns the park and the adjoining atelier.
You bring up an interesting point, though. The reason it is located in New Jersey (of all places) is because the land could be bought cheaply and developed. Plus he was born therein.

There are two reasons I only mention the sculptures in passing, bandana:
