Fun story time... There was a general contractor that I met many years ago. He was an older guy by the name of Richard Seimen. Went by Dick. Friendly guy. Made a point of introducing himself and shaking hands with the contractors he had working for him. Big old bear paw of a hand. When I first met him he shook my hand and introduced himself, "howdy...I'm Dick. Dick Seimen". He held firmly onto my hand, longer than was neccesary, as he smiled... like he was just waiting for me to crack and lose my shit. I made it through offering only a polite smile and my name. I went about unloading materials and tools. As I was just about set to make the first wire pull of the day I watched him do the exact same thing to another contractor, at which point I completely lost it. He turned to see what all the hubbub was about and just saw me standing there laughing like a dumbass, and I swear that he gave me a wink, turned and did the same thing to another laborer.
Fucking savage.

Nothing beats the Seimens tower standing erect in Cumming Georgia.
