Bob Denman's sig line

Bob has this as a signature line.

"History shows again and again, how Nature points up the Folly of Man."
Buck Dharma: 1977 Blue Oyster Cult

This reminds me how time has a way of mocking man's sense of permanence. In Hammond, LA is a building that must have been a Ford dealership many years ago. I can imagine the pride the owner felt when he constructed it and expected it to be a Ford store for near forever. Well, I don't know how long it was a Ford store, but I do know it hasn't been one for 25 years. The Ford logo in stone is still there, long after the owner has been gone. So how permanent was the dealership? It wasn't. But the stone logo is!

If the building survives another 100 years, acid rain will etch away the rest.

"All we are, is dust in the wind...", might also have worked as well. :thumbup:

I lived in Bon Aire Estates west of Ponchatoula from 1991 to 2006! My brother came down for a visit one time and as he is a history and antiques buff we of course went to Ponchy to peruse all the antique shops. I don't remember which one it was but we went in off the main street and exited out the side street door. On the way out I said, "There's only one thing missing in front of the store. A sign that says 'Antiques made while you wait'!"

Were you one of the Goldwing riders that John Montecino used to tell me about?

There is a building in downtown Atlanta, GA that was a Packard place.
