Treasure in Santa Fe New Mexico

Nobody has said that they have found the Fenn Treasure in New Mexico so I guess there's still time for me to formulate a theory about where it is and go look for it. I just might be right. What have I got to lose? This is NOT breaking news so don't get excited.

Dubai

Today, the tallest building in the world (Burj Kahlifa) will experience a grand opening. It is in Dubai, a country or business conglomerate among the arab emirates which is heavily in debt. They say the building is twice the height of the Empire State Building and 50 stories higher than the Sears Tower. I have been to the top of the Empire State Building and that seems pretty high to me. I can only imagine how high this new building is. The architects say that it is very likely that this building will remain the world's tallest for the next ten years. It just might remain so for the next fifty years. Bill Baker was the structural engineer for this baby. We'll know who to blame if it falls over in a high wind. This topless woman is afraid of heights so it is also unlikely she will travel to Dubai for the grand opening.
