People are different. And that’s a good thing. My sister has a friend from school whose career was that of high school English teacher and whose hobby is metal working. He makes the most amazing swords, blades, and decorations. He made my sister a metal penguin for her garden and she commissioned him to make me a giant hedgehog. Granted, she hadn’t expected it to have 80 2” cast iron spikes on its back – we named it the Hedgehog of Death and until recently, the Hedgehog of Death has lived where he could not impale or blind anyone. Now that Scout is gone, it has a place of honour under the pear tree in my back yard.
But the high school teacher whose work we saw yesterday takes unusual hobbies to a whole new level – if ever you are driving north on the 11 and have an hour (or more) to spare, you must check out the Screaming Heads of Burk’s Falls.
A massive field (well, fields, really) of metal geodesic domes, carved stone buildings, concrete animals & hands, and acres & acres of concrete screaming heads. Don’t miss it.
