Lenin in Fremont
The Statue of Lenin in Seattle is a 16 foot (5 m) bronze sculpture of Bolshevik Russian Communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin located in the Fremont neighborhood.
The statue was constructed by a Slovak Bulgarian sculptor, Emil Venkov, under commission from the Soviet and Czechoslovak governments. While following the bounds of his commission, Venkov intended to portray Lenin as a bringer of revolution, in contrast to the traditional portrayals of Lenin as a philosopher and educator. His Lenin marches ahead fiercely, surrounded by torrid flames and symbols of war.
Lewis E. Carpenter, a resident of Issaquah, Washington, who was teaching English in Poprad, found the monumental statue lying in a scrapyard ready to be sold for the price of the bronze. In close collaboration with a local journalist and good friend, Tomáš Fülöpp, Carpenter approached the city officials with a claim that despite its current unpopularity, the sculpture was still a work of art worth preserving, and he offered to buy it for ,000. After many bureaucratic hurdles, he finally signed a contract with the mayor on March 16, 1993.
The Carpenter family continues to seek a buyer for the statue. The asking price as of 2006 is 0,000, up from a 1995 price tag of 0,000. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Lenin,_Seattle

Joyce sent me this cool card - the little round bits have teeth that make this neat-o zippy noise when you open and close the card. I love noises like that - I enjoy Batman films mostly for the sound of his devices. Clicks and little *tink!*s are great.

Anyway, Joyce's card has been a real hit around here and I've found it in various rooms all day, being used as play for toys. I steal it back, open and close it a few times and put it back on the hutch, where it belongs.
