Norm,

That "Log" in Albuquerque went up in the late 1980's...... I was working about 3 blocks east of the FAA center and, being a level headed Scandahooovian, I would salivate out of both corners of my mouth as I saw it go up. Oh, what a pretty sight in the late afternoon as the sun hit all that aluminum!!!!!!!!!!!
