I'll believe it when I see it...

And see it I did.

Did you get that email about the statue/structure sent to us by Russia after the whole 9/11 ordeal? I received it and for some reason, I just didn't believe it to be true. I kept thinking the media would have covered it, right? After all, Russia was one of the places that flew their flags at half staff. Why wouldn't it be covered? And also, seriously, they put it in Jersey? Stinky crime infested Jersey? Is that like a thanks, but no thanks? We want the easily led American people to never see this structure and continue to believe you only want to steal our identity and kill us? The idea that it might be there has been just killing me... AH HA! Maybe they do just want to kill us and figured they would begin with breaking us down psychologically! Or maybe not. Whatever the deal is, I have been aching to go and find this statue. However, find someone who wants to do a day trip to Jersey. Right. Also, I think my exuberance when regarding a statue I didn't think existed and the fact that I had no idea where said maybe not statue was located kind of threw people. Exploring isn't about exacts people. F.

Aren't I talking to G the other day and asking him about what he does and all that preliminary crap? Doesn't he say he drives a truck, sometimes as far north as Maine and as far south as, you guessed it, NEW JERSEY! I informed him of the days that worked best for me and that I would bring lunch. The plan ball started rolling. True to his word, he picked me up at 2:15 a.m. on Tuesday morning and off we went. This was a triple hitter. 1. Gas was paid for. 2. G's company was 100% satisfactory. 3. He knows Jersey. Getting lost was a thing of the past! No stress, no strain.

Here are the pictures of the statue that might not have been:



Look at it all shimmery in the sunlight. Just awesome. If you look at the one below, that is G standing in front of it, checking it out. This thing is huge people!





This is a memorial for the people specifically from Bayone, NJ. That's where it is after all. Located in the northeast corner where all the cruise ships come into the dock. And yes there is a reason for this. It's not just to thumb our nose at Russia.



This little plaque is on the side of the actual structure to let us know that Russia sent it along.

Здравствуйте! к Соединенным Штатам. Мы надеемся что вы любит наша статуя!

These are all the people who died on 9/11.



And here we have a nice little explanation on what the hell is up with the Jersey deal. Looking at NYC, the statue is located between our Lady Liberty and where the two towers once stood. Now I get it.

This picture is an awesome accident. See the statues reflection? JH #1. Again.

That's it then. I am now going to find my next mission. Until then I shall work and run the dogs at the bogs. Life is sweet.
