We can never really know---but we suspect that this may well have been "an alcohol-related incident." :) ;)

      7/19/05 Now here was one part of the construction I did NOT like.  -We had to cut down some live trees:

      I asked forgiveness (I'm not entirely sure from whom) for taking down such a beautiful creation.  

      The taiga is really something.  The moss you see is about 6" to a foot thick, and almost incredibly spongy.  :) :)

      7/19/05 Another look in an Alaskan dumpter---treads. Whether they are from some sort of construction vehicle or a tank--I have no idea. . . .  But there they were---treads:

      :)

      7/19/05 I stopped by to see how the other crew was doing.  -The nose knows:

      :) :)

      7/20/05 Heather expressed her sentiments---I couldn't agree more.  :) :)

      I found it interesting that the U.S. is so pathologically litiginous---that even a 12-year-old will include the "TM" sign.  At that age, I was concerned with. . . .  Well, never mind! ;) ;) -But I wouldn't've been concerned with copyright infrigement!  :) :)

      7/21/05 This one was sort of an afterthought; however, it garnered no small amount of attention---an opossum fixed up by Mary, in the jaws of a homemade T-Rex skeleton--recently repaired by Robert.

      :) :)

      OF COURSE, we didn't miss any of "The Red Green Show" during this construction!  Here is the one where he builds a walkway to keep off the rain---with a length of drainage pipe, and a hockey stick.  :) :)

      7/22/05 Regardless of how early we started (This year!  :) ;) ), regardless of how hard we worked--the final preparations were rushed.  Here is some last minute painting by Heather and Jennifer.  The story is this: The small possum, being chased by the tyrannosaur, is "Bubbles"; the large possum is Rosie, who is mad at, and chasing, the tyrannosaur, for chasing "Bubbles"; the tyrannosaur is Heather.  :) :)

      There is also the significance that both opossum and tyrannosaurs were on the Earth at the same time. Opossum have been around that long. . . .

      7/22/05 And here is the sunset--the sunset on all our work.  For good or for ill, we were done.
