    There’s an eccentric rich guy who owns a bunch of land near a marina he runs which I visited once. Goes by the name Bamahenge. He chose to spend some of his money putting life-size dinosaur and Arthurian knight statues scattered around the woods. Went around with my parents to spot some, and they really aren’t tourist attractions because there’s no proper viewing areas or parking or anything, you really have to just hike through the woods to find them. Sometimes you see a stegosaurus head poking out of the trees from the road.

    He also made a 20 foot in diameter spider and put it right in front of the marina. That one I could do without.

    Anyway that’s the kind of rich I want to be. Not “Here’s a golden statue of myself” asshole rich.

    I realize now that they made a statue of the guy who wears a tie every single day without a tie. Why that?
