From somewhere within the dark places of my mind, I remember being inside of a large cuckoo clock, where there were hundreds of clocks ticking, ticking, ticking! No, this is not a night mare, but a memory from my childhood some forty years plus ago. Today, as I was rambling through document and working my family genealogy, I came across (again) and old post card of the Worlds Largest Cuckoo Clock, which I thought I had missed placed. Yes, this is the clock I remember. This is the clock that was talked about, back in the day, around the dinner table or in the living room. I don't recall the actually conversations or where it actually took place, but I do recall the clock being talked about and I remember it was so cool to walking into a working clock. Cool, may not have been my word of choice back in the 60's, but it works for now. Back around 2003 is when I initially came across the post card. Upon looking up the address on the web, I found the owners of the clock. Soon after writting to them I recieved a reply back in the form of an updated post card. I thought, and still do, that it was very fanastic that I receive a reply in the new card. Some forty years seperation in time, but the clock still stands.

That would indeed be a fascinating experience, to be inside a giant mechanical clock! And not just any clock, but a work of art like that...wow!
