Long Leaf Pine gets recycled one last time
A while back - in July - my mother gave me four of these.

Bit farther back - in 1983 - she acquired them at a benefit auction for the Katonah, NY Hysterical Society. I do not know why.
Still farther back - in 1903 - the timber was used to build a "pre-fabricated" railroad station canopy in Katonah. It was torn down in 1983 to make way for something called "progress".
Yet even farther back - in 1834 - the timber was used for the first time to build a railroad station canopy at Grand Central Station in New York City. They tore it down in 1901 to make way for something called "progress".
So yesterday, I decided it was high time I messed with some of it.

Then last night I was talking with Travis and Mark about this and we determined the best thing to do was just hand it over to Chrystine and let her do some more magic. But just before I turned in last night, I swept up the mess on the floor and found two pieces from the beast. I hadn't bothered looking since I figured it just explodered into a buhzillion itty bitty pieces.
Soooooo - I bust out the Elmers.
