Not Impressed

The Guggenheim in Bilbao was on my list of stops during the recent visit to Spain. Sadly, I was not impressed. The building, well, an engineering achievement but sadly inadequate as it draws attention away from the works inside.

The works inside, disappointing. Of course, I’m not the best judge of these things. In fact, I’m completely unqualified. So go see it for yourself and let me know. There was this creation out front.

An achievement to be sure, but what kind? Help me out because I’ve missed it completely.

Still remember?

Anyone out there remember what happened nine years ago in New York City, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon? Remember who did what to whom? Do you? Anybody?

(Or have you been lulled to sleep by the ministries of propaganda?)

Well?

Pay VERY close attention….

… as you watch the following video because there will be a test afterward.

What limits the power of government in the United States?

What is the worse form of economic phenomenon?

What happens when the government is involved in all sorts of social engineering?

Go back and view it again and think about what is happening in the WORLD today.

Ritz Construction, Aruba

Ritz Carlton is constructing a new hotel in Aruba. It is located just north of the Marriott complex. At the time of this writing, the main road leading to Malmok has been diverted around the site, leaving the bridge to Bakval impassable as you can see in this first photo.

The building site itself shows signs of foundation work, which is evident in this next photo. (The Marriott hotel can be seen in the right corner.)

And here is another view from the other direction.

The reinforcing rods sticking up from the ground will probably tie the building into the pilings on which the structure will stand. It was difficult to get a good angle for photographing the site because there is an eight foot fence around it. Probably wise to keep gawkers like me away. At any rate, there is the update on the Ritz construction.

Bon dia.
