Local Angry Politician - Mumpower on the water dispute.

I love seeing a politician get angry. In this case I have no real grasp on who is right and wrong

but I do think that politicians need to speak their minds more often.

Biggest Construction Projects

This comes from Askmen.com and it lists the longest construction projects in history.

10 Coliseum - 10 years

9 Parthenon - 17 years

8 Great Pyramid at Giza - 20 years

7 Sacsayhuaman - 63 years

6 York Minister Cathedral - 252 years

5 Chichen Itza - 400 years

4 Angkor Wat - 418 years

3 Petra - 450 years

2 Stonehenge - 1,600 years

1 The Great Wall - 2,000 years

I find this list a little shallow as I know there are other Cathedrals in Europe that took more than 10 years to build. Also the far East is only represented by Angkor Watt and the Great Wall and I have an idea that a few structures took over a decade to make.

Time for some research.... the Cathedral pictured is one of my favorites, its one that I will eventually visit, its the Cathedral of Cologne. It took over (1248-1880AD) 600 years to complete, with breaks during that time.

Countdown to Pitchers and Catchers approaches

I'm a big baseball fan and this dead time between the Super Bowl and Spring Training is so boring that it makes me look forward to Pitchers & Catchers reporting to camp. Growing up in Florida I was able to travel to many of the camps and see the teams getting back in the shape for the season.

This year like the last 5 or so is unfortunately marked with a new player linked to steroids.

A-Rod or A-fraud is the latest but certainly not the last.

The real story for me is that growing up in Vero Beach / Ft. Pierce we also had the Dodgers in Vero and the Mets in Port St. Lucie. Well the Dodgers left Vero Beach and now the whole facility sits empty this spring. Such a great place to go see a game or see the guys doing the drills that its a shame that it has no one this year. The history is immense with it as the Brooklyn Dodgers and then the LA Dodgers have called it their spring home since 1948. Of course the Dodgers broke through the racial barrier by calling up Jackie Robinson and of course the first place he had to go was Dodgertown. Being in the South, Dodgertown at first did not welcome Jackie (and neither did most of his team), but over time it would become a model for how baseball had to integrate and change its ways.

So now the place where history was made and players / fans dreams came true is gone.

Well enough of the downers, baseball is only a few weeks away and I for one can't wait. Go sox.
