LOL, you have a good sense of humor !!!!, I am not sure that I knew that about the weathervane, that old D&H building is an amazing structure, so is the capitol building they are still trying to waterproof, some of those old stone buildings are incredible, but leak like a sieve. I think SUNY is in there now or another state agency.
I was a young kid but I watched that museum get built, and the egg, the plaza buildings were completed before those, my father was a concrete superintendent on that 43 story building when it went up, not long after he was discharged from the army and was home from some far away places where some bad things were going on. I worked on the 33rd floor of that building for 1 year, what a view from your office, I could look north and see our land 12 miles away, our ridge of woods at 650 feet in elevation, was a great place to work, overlooking the river and all the buildings.
I used to go to the gun show too, buy and walk out with my purchase, bagged of course, things changed a lot down there since 9-11, security is tight, used to be relaxed. People were evacuated from the tower when 9-11 terrorist attacks hit, that building is a heavily reinforced concrete core with a massive steel superstructure around it, a proverbial brick sh$thouse, a lot heavier built than the WTC 1&2 was, those new ones are also similar, at least WTC 7 is and reminds me of this one in albany.

YOu may also not realize that in the bowels of that building is a lab that does all kinds of odd things, I have a good friend working in there, 7 stories below grade, really odd thing in there, a room 6" thick steel walls, set up to keep radiation out for experiments, plates were from an old ship prior to the nuclear era, I have seen it first hand, wonder if they also own any black helicopters, its a mysterious place that lab.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
