Acuity Flagpole Project

Standing 400 feet tall, the new Acuity Insurance Flagpole is the tallest flagpole in North America (#tallestusflag).  Located on the Acuity Insurance headquarters campus in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, along Interstate 43 between Milwaukee and Green Bay, the pole supports a 60-foot-wide by 120-foot-long American flag.  Located at the base of the flagpole is a brick paver patio featuring the names of Sheboygan County residents killed in active duty.

Flagpole Facts:

• 400-foot flagpole weighs approximately 420,000 pounds
• There are two versions of the 60- by 120-foot flag:- 220 pound flag is flown during normal conditions- 350 pound flag is flown during harsher weather
• Each star is 3 feet high and each stripe is 4 1/2 feet wide
• 680 cubic yards of concrete used in foundation
• Over 500 gallons of paint cover the pole
• 11-foot diameter at base tapers to 5 1/2-foot diameter at top
• Three pendulum-style tuned mass dampers reduce movement and vibration
• Designed to withstand a low temperature of -42°F

The Train ... Thx Dr. H!

The train ... Thx Dr. H!  This is one of the most beautiful things ever on my blog!

This is beautiful...

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.

I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey. Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.

This man owned and drove the same car for 82 years ... Thx Dr. H!

Subject: THIS MAN OWNED AND DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 82 YEARS Mr.  Allen Swift:  Born:  1908 ˜ Died  2010     This  man owned & drove the same car for 82 YEARS. Can  you imagine even having the same car for 82  years?  Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield ,  Massachusetts) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1  Roadster from his father,  brand  new - as a graduation gift in 1928.  He drove it  up until his death last year ... at the age of  102!!! He was the oldest living owner of a car that  was purchased new.  Just thought you'd like to  see it. It was donated to a Springfield museum after  his death. It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs  like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in  perfect cosmetic condition.  (82  years). That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per  month)... 1,070,000  that's miles not kilometres!!    That's  British engineering of a bygone era. I don't think they make  them like this anymore.

Church squirrels ... Thx again Dr. H!

CHURCH SQUIRRELS            I don't care who you are, this is funny! There were five houses of religion in a small town: The Presbyterian Church, The Baptist Church , The Methodist Church , The Catholic Church and The Jewish Synagogue.  Each church and Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels.  One day, the Presbyterian Church  called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.  After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will. In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back. But -- The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church.  Now they only see them on Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Easter. Not much was heard about the  Jewish Synagogue, but they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called circumcision.  They haven't seen a squirrel on the property since. ************************************* Keep going.... For all who appreciate the outdoors ... the rarely photographed South Florida Squirrel.  Life is too short for drama and petty things, laugh a lot, love truly and forgive quickly.
