Klahanie,

I took the same pic. Lol! I just didn’t post it.

Yes, I think the statue is there to stay. I know it’s controversial, but not sure the reason why. It’s a famous iconic scene from the movie: The Seven Year Itch.

The ratio of male to female date palms (Phoenix dactylifera) is one male to 40 females date trees. Lol! The males aren’t as important as the female-fruit producing trees.
