The Indonesian general resided for many years in a local store that sold rosewood and teak furniture. Each time I was in the store, I'd admire the statue, but balk at the price. It is granite, and must have cost a fortune in freight alone. After several years, the price had been lowered a couple of times, so I could not resist when the store offered a "half-price on everything in the store" sale. It took three men to move it to my garden and place it on the low brick pedestal I had built to hold the general.

As for the pond, I've always been kinda particular when it comes to the 'look', so I tend to take the 'form over function' route in life and probably won't opt for the netting. I have given up on koi and I keep small goldfish in the pond (to keep mosquitoes at bay). As they grow (and disappear), I replace them with new ones (5 for $1). Here is a photo of the culprit, stalking the pond last spring.
