Worlds second largest fire hydrant.

In 1999, to promote the re-release of the animated 101 Dalmatians, Walt Disney's Home Video division built the World's Largest Fire Hydrant at Disney Land in Anaheim, CA. For reasons that are lost to time, the Fire Museum of Texas in Beaumont -- a 1920s-era fire station where vintage trucks, historic nozzles and fire bells are exhibited -- was chosen by Disney to be the permanent home of its towering fireplug. - See more at: World's Largest Fire Hydrant - Former, Beaumont, Texas

 

If and when it becomes apparent she will be the next president there is going to be a gun and ammunition shortage that will make the recent ones look tame.

 

Very good.
Futuro, or Futuro House, is a round, prefabricated house designed by Matti Suuronen, of which fewer than 100 were built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Not surprising, nobody sells round furniture.....

 

Now that weed is legal in AK, i wonder if these will make a comeback?

 

Don't ask me how Blue Earth got all Green.... I'm not a farmer.

 

No, it's a giant sausage... At least that's what the sign claims. Yes, in Canada.

 

Maybe from Ole Blue, the Ox. Organics can do wonders and no way to know how much Blue Dung Ole Blu let loose!

 

Yes, also Canadian.

Canada, of course.

 

Had to check to make sure this was an 'attraction' and not just a bad Friday night..... (Alliance, NE)

 

When in LA, stop for a good donut here.

 

Guess where? Been out of business almost s soon as it was completed.....

 

"The wax — the “lava” — is said to be a blend of paraffin and perchloroethylene (PERC, aka dry cleaning fluid or brake part cleaner).

The liquid part is a mixture of distilled water, pure salt, antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and a coloring agent.

The two different blends are then are sealed inside a heat-resistant glass container, which is then placed upon the heat/light source (usually a 40-watt light bulb)."
These things had a bad habit of breaking, and catching fire. I've seen a couple blow thier caps, and froth over. (Might have been too hot a bulb, but I have no idea ). I doubt they will ever make a strong comeback, but I don't see them disappearing completely either.

 

I've eaten there. And it has been in several movies.

 

It is weird, isn't it?

 

Oddly enough - the donuts are pretty good as well.

 

Someone might have had too much time on their hands when they decided to make a giant turtle (32 feet tall) out of over 2,000 tire rims. You can find this monstrous tortoise in Dunseith, ND. I am impressed.....

 

Yes, HI. Everything has to have a "view" - even the roadsides.

 

5 stories and it is a house.

 

Nope, the UK. Texas isn't alone in building large...stuff.
