       Amazing engineering

       Just had to post this pic.  It's amazing.  This massive
       hydraulic crane is building an even bigger crane that will be
       used to build a cinema complex on top of the Market Place in
       Bolton.  I used to be the market hall.  The red crane is the
       largest in Europe and has come from Poland with its team of
       engineers.  To anchor it they have sunk its base into a huge
       block of concrete which weighs as much as a five storey
       building.  Sounds impossible doesn't it.  The road which passes
       it has been closed all this week so that the very large mobile
       crane can lift the parts of the other crane into position.  The
       operator's cab is set at a 45 degree angle so that he can see
       the end of the jib from cab level.  Really interesting.

       [font=trebuchet ms]IS amazing.
       Kev's uncle has a business owning and operating cranes. Very
       lucrative.  This man has always known how to make money--working
       two jobs, starting businesses, investing in prime land and real
       estate, even inventing things--and they have a lot of money, but
       they're 75 and may never retire.  He said to me once, " How can
       you ever know if you have enough (money)?"  His sense of
       security depends entirely on money.  I understand to a point.
       You can't survive in our world without money.  Financial strain
       is miserable, and I hope to never go through what we went
       through a couple years back, ever again.  I don't need to be
       rich, but it's nice to have enough to be comfortable.  I just
       hate to see them work themselves to death because they can never
       have 'enough.' :-\ [/font]
