At the end of a quiet cul de sac stands these gems:



I know the guy who owns/carved them. He's an eccentric, insanely talented artist. He says he doesn't want to carve tikis for commercial gain as it would be bad ju ju (for him). Too bad. He said he carves them with a chain saw and chisel. He's got 4 more in the back yard that are 4 to 8 foot in height, one holds two tiki torches in his hands. He did promise me when the mood strikes him he will carve a 6 foot palm section he's saved for me in exchange for setting up a web site for him. He's said that for two years now, I'm very patient. I have a spot picked out in my back yard, ready for it! Now if I could only tame the artistic mind to become logical for a few hours we'd be good to go!
