Coming back to our room at the Bella Royale from Wangs (Palm Springs) I was feeling Pretty good cuz I was able to snag two of their green fu man chu type mugs.Thought I saw a tiki hiding among the palms;

Yup,here he is;

While I'm on the subject,there's a couple of real Ku's I see each time that I take my dog for a walk. The resident at the house these guys guard is not a tikifreak but he is an artist at the Disney Burbank studio. He said that his co-workers gave him the tikis, I forget what the occasion was. They are about 15" tall and are mounted on brick columns on opposite sides of his driveway. Although made of concrete they are showing some weathering which was of some concern to the owner.He's one of those guys we hate cuz there is not a blade of grass outta place on his property. Of course I hinted that I would take them off his hands should he decide to get rid of those nasty old Ku. Notice that at first glance the tikis appear to be identical. There are not so subtle differences in the two.
Cheers
