The Monument to the Unknown Bureaucrat in Reykjavik. It honors those who are the “cogs in the wheel” that keep Iceland running. It’s more than a bit satirical.

This young man came along with his family to tour the National Museum of American History today. As soon as I saw his t-shirt, I knew he would love seeing the Honda CVCC - Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion - which becomes the Honda Civic. This kid was so excited about all of the cars in the museum. I really do love being a tour guide.
