Thanks for looking, Tim, Brian and Pete. Yes, I know about the branches. As I noted in my reply to Christine, the owner came out when I stopped to photograph the statue, and didn't want me trampling across his lawn, so I took the image from and angle that he approved, rather than the one I wanted. My reply to Christine also contains the romantic story he told me about how the hippo got there (he is the one who acquired it and brought it across half the country).
Also remarkable is the construction of the veterinary building, which is designed to be as green as feasible. For example: "The hospital avoided burning gas or oil to heat the building or expensive air conditioning to cool it by installing a geothermal system which circulates water through 10,000 feet of tubing through 500-foot-deep wells to take advantage of the constant underground 55 degree temperature. " I wish I could have gotten this angle: http://www.oldwickanimalhospital.com/press.html Dan > Now that is remarkable. -T > > On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 8:21 PM, Daniel J.
