Ledge. Strata is running the right way to break it apart with a hammer. I have found one the same size we use at work that I know will do the job easily.

I sense, with satisfaction, that the best preservationist instincts have come to the fore. That rock or ledge must have seen many a train pass by and I am happy to think that it will see some more. Destruction of something like that is irreversible.

Last time I drove by a few weeks ago they were. I think it's for sale if you're looking to go into the restaurant business.

I know where to put the new Trigs when I arrive on Thursday.  Does anyone know where Steve P. wants the two Free Little Library's stored?
