Friday Questions from the Field
Our questions this week come from a serial CW commenter, oldwoodchair. If you would like to submit questions of your own, please contact Cheryl at Cheryl at this domain dot com. Thank you, Terry!
1. If a statue were built of you, where would you want it to be placed?
2. Is the “400 Block” a good name for the 400 block? Or should we come up with something more defining, like maybe “Indecision Square”? Other ideas?
3. If you could start over again, would you go into a different line of work? What is your dream career? Is it ever too late to start over?
4. I have a specialty license plate…do you? If you don’t, what would you put on it that describes or identifies what you want to portray to the world. (It can have 8 characters, including spaces, total.)
5. Do you believe we’re alone in the universe, or is there intelligent life out there somewhere?

1. In line in front of the small claims window at the clerk of court’s office.
2. I think it has been the 400 block for so long… no matter what it gets named to.. it will ALWAYS be the 400 Block
3. It is NEVER too late… NEVER! As for me… I can’t decide between and Over-the-Road Truck Driver or a College Professor
4. My personal vehicles have X SPY, X SPY 2 and X SPY 3, my company vehicles have HLPRNT 1 and HLPRNT 2.
5. Based on the numbers involved.. there must be intelligent life out there somewhere (however, I am still undecided if it truly exists here - LOL)

1. In a central location of a recently-terraformed artificial landscape in humanity’s first fully functional outer-space colony. Which later becomes all that is left of human civilization when a biological war turns the earth into a toxic wasteland unfit for habitation, except for a few pockets deep in the recesses of the earth’s crust. And those pockets also have centrally located statues of me.
2. I think at this point it is the 400 block, and that is the way it is. I’m fine with it. Leave the 400 block’s name as it is! Why tamper with a perfectly functional name!
5. Alone. Unless we’re not…

1. Someplace with pigeons. Everybody wins that way.
2. I was in Stevens Point this week listening to a presentation on downtown development. Even THEY call it the 400 block. If we had a subway or light rail, that would be the name of the stop.
3. I’ve always enjoyed my work.
5. We are not alone! (But it’s not like the others make good company or anything.)

4. yrbndsux

1. I pretty much think having a statue of me would be an insane idea, however if one was made I’d like to have it placed at San Alfonso del Mar Lagoon, Chile.
2. 400 Block is fine with me.
3. With my advancing age, it is way past the point of me becoming a famous chef, but I still keep studying anyways. Otherwise, a music journalist, a vocalist, a candlestick maker.
4. I don’t drive but if I did I LOVE to have the plate IMBLIND.
5. I am a non believer.

1. In front of Greenheck Field House at DCE - I spent too many hours of my life there with two boys in youth hockey and on the high school team; I was on the first board that helped form the youth hockey organization. I’ve often said I would like my funeral there - just put my casket at center ice. Maybe play chuck-a-puck into it!
2. It would be nice to give it a name, but it will always be known as the 400 block, just like Snake Bridge, the M&I Bank Bldg, etc.
3. My dream job has always been to be a photographer for National Geographic and travel the world. Now that I am older, I would want to stay in luxury hotels in different parts of the world, not in the jungle or desert.
4. I don’t have one but I pay for my son’s specialy plate each year - TAK IT EZ
5. There may be life out there, but why do we always assume it is “intelligent” life - it may be creatures like the ones that live in the hills of Arkansas.
