Yeah! He is wearing his boxers again -- although I was slightly disappointed that I missed his face mask (I was told he wore one yesterday). I took this statue for granted as I grew up here. I never dreamed it would make it as a roadside attraction.

Important change at the Thinker statue. Note the shorts!

Take the time to go into the Tuff Decisions store! The statue is neat, the store is great.

In front of the novelty shop TD's Tuff Decisions in Owensboro is a huge statue of "The Thinker." He stands out since he is on the main road in town.
