Even Columbus lost his head when he found out many folks prefer Indigenous People Day. Well, nothing's set in stone! Robert

HEY, I woulda been a stout drinking irish lad, walking barefoot and tending the sheep after cutting peat for the fireplace and wrestling the British for my potatoes.

Hi Gershon, some have come down in my neck of the woods. Then others are put up. There's a lot of outdoor mural art in the area. Wish I could go on the shuttle bus for the outdoor art tour, but would have to hobble on and off the shuttle for the various stops. Shalom and have a good afternoon. :)

Humorous! In the long run it’s not about the statues…
