Ice sculpture...
In my web ramblings, I
came across this photo of an ice sculpture so touching that I felt the need to
share it here, especially because it hits home for so many of us, and because
many downstaters were closely involved with the
aftermath of September 11th.
Although I am largely not as religious as many people, I found myself staring
at this picture. It appears that it was not made for some special event and
doesn't seem to be put on display in a crowded public area. It looks as though
someone made it in front of a house and out of the pure kindness of the heart.
It is both breathtaking, yet sobering.
Warm wishes...

a New Yorker. Cairns Mfg. the manufacturer, built that helmet many years ago
specifically for the city of

Rob,
Thanks for the picture. That lady is one hell of an artist.
Glenn,
Very interesting bit of info on the helmets. Leather is the only way to go. I'm
on my 2nd one, someone stole my original one.
