In case you missed it, we have a new list of 7 Wonders of the World. So, I’m pondering … what about the old 7 wonders? Why did they drop off the list? Do they go to the 7 Wonders of the World Pasture? And … why 7? Can’t we just add to the list? Now I find out that there was an election. A world wide election. The first few things that I need to ask are … did Jimmy Carter moderate so as to ensure a fair counting? Were chads involved? Was this like picking MLB all-stars, so you can vote for one as much as you want? Why did it take so long to vote for these (since 2006)? I mean, this took longer than the NBA playoffs, for pete’s sake!! Finally, I didn’t get the memo that a voting was taking place. Nor did I get the obligatory spam email from 100s of my friends that are telling me to vote for the Statue of Liberty, which was the only American “Wonder” in the finals. Probably because it was built by the French and given to us. Interesting enough, you can vote by text messaging. If American Idol can have problems counting their votes, what makes these people think that they won’t have issues with worldwide text messaging. Go figure … so, here are my own Wonders of the World …

1. my Volvo

2. Neyland Stadium

3. Gettysburg Battlefield

4. Old Man in the Mountain. While no longer there, was quite a site!

5. The Whales of Gloucester. MA.
