This is the visitors center on top of Georgia's Highest peak Brasstown Bald. It houses a museum and the pictures below are of Mr. Arthur Woody (Georgia's first forest ranger) who greets visitors to the center. I call him a "dummy" but I think the proper name is animatron. Mr. Woody helped design and built the original tower on this mountain. He helped build the forests back that had been clear cut by early lumber companies and helped bring wild life back to the North Georgia mountain area. Isn't he cute and doesn't he look real? You mash a button and he starts talking. He looked so life-like that I stood their and pushed his button several times. I was so mesmerized by his eyes that I couldn't tell you a thing he said. lol.

I thought he was real until I started to read your post. I hope you had a nice 4th.
He does look real. I thought he was at first and then I finished reading the post.
Forgot to say - I like your new blog layout. Very nice.
Dot - that glove on this hand is scary!
I need one of these to put in the truck with me when I (have) to drive to Atlanta. lol
What a funny and interesting way to explain things to visitors!(Maybe not so efficient, if you don't remember anything because the guide himself caught your attention!...Ü)
I missed you last month. I am glad you are back.
I have been there in a long time... pre-animation :-) He does look real. I'll have to make sure I visit him.
Wow, how amazingly lifelike! I thought he was real when I first looked at the picture.

A nice man, he only speaks when you want him to speak, isn't that great? lol
Your title PUN is very funny! Ü I would have pushed his buttons several times also. Since you can't remember what he said, it's an excuse to go back!
I have a blog I occasionally post big photos on also. It is called Just Paulie but it has been awhile since I posted a new photo -- been kinda down after my friend's death.
I would have been mesmerized too ... missed you . hope all is well
Wherrrr bang.lol
Enjoyed this post, truly great.
Mama that is cool!! I LOVE the new blog look!!
It must be quite a view from the top. You liked to push Mr. Woody's button, didn't you?! :) By the way, I like your new blog layout.
Laughing at Dick's comment. :)

Sure does look real!
I thought he was real, also, till I read your commnents!
Ha! I guess it's cheaper to make a dummy than to hire a real live worker. Everyone is cutting back!
He looks real to me. Nice post!
What a cool building.. We recently drove through Georgia on our way to Disney World. I've been there before, but never off the highway. This time we spent a little time there and I just loved it. We stayed in Pooler, then went over to Savannah and Tybee Island the following day. Lovely area, I especially liked the Spanish Moss on all the trees..
Hi There, We're home after a wonderful weekend in the gorgeous North Carolina mountains. I'll post in the morning.

hi there bros. I'm actually into shoes and I had been digging as far as something that exact make. The prices seeking the sneakers were about 250 pounds on every page. But completely I bring about this site selling them as a remedy for half price. I absolutely like those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will definetly buy them. what is your opinion?
Hello. And Bye.
