Stix ‘n Brix

The removal of the wand over Spaceship Earth is under way. Here’s what it looked like yesterday:

Although I wasn’t initially a fan of the structure, it grew on me over the years, and without it the Golf Ball will seem barren to me. 

Actually, I think dismantling should stop right where it is, and a series of replaceable tops created, to be changed out with the seasons and event. Some examples: 

• A golf club, during major tournaments
• A snow shovel, to remind Winter visitors what they’ve escaped.
• A flower or a garden trowel, during the Flower & Garden festival
• A spatula, or fork, or kabob, or wine glass, during the Food & Wine festival.
• A turkey drumstick at Thanksgiving, followed quickly by
• A candy cane, for Christmas

Any other ideas? C’mon, let’s hear ‘em.
