About Me
- Bruce Gee
- Oregon, South Central Wisconsin, United States
- I'm a 32-years-married dad of three, self-employed woodworker-type fella. The kids are 28, 21, and 16. Being left behind by two sons has resulted in a simpler life. While reunions are cherished, there is a certain je ne said quois character to a nearly empty nest that I find I can recommend.

So, I wonder, how high was the Tower of Babel before the Lord struck it down and did it look like this building?
I have heard folks refer to the United Nations building in the same context: lots of "babbling" going on, but not much else.
I'm not sure they had reinforced concrete, steel H beams, and welders back then. Probably, Babel's footprint was a teensy bit larger.
If this is Babel, I wonder what languages the people of Dubai will begin to speak...
