The Spire at the Presidio.

Says "aggie bonfire", would that be Texas A&M?

And yeah, I bet someone torches it before it rots.

WHOOP!

Yup.

They canned that bonfire after it fell and killed 12 people. Sad, and sad for an engineering school :roll::what:

 

[Hobby Climber]

That fire musta been something to see while ablaze!!!

As far as that art thing Deva built,...

One of the kids killed was from Turlock, just a few miles from me.

For the record, we didn't pay anything. We were contracted out by an art gallery that sponsors artists.

I asked someone, they looked important and that's what they told me.



We'll just all have to wait and see what happens to it. Rot, torch or Time.

 

[stehansen]

Is it all finished now?

 

[Bodean]

I think 4 more weeks of foundation support work, concrete collar and that should wrap it up.

Of course the Tree Crew is back to the trees, for now.

All in all, it looks pretty cool. The tapering of the logs is neat. I wonder why I haven't seen it anywhere in the media?

Viola, There You Geaux.

I still can't rename links.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You have to wrap the link in code.

Quote this to see what eye did.

Neat article, Deva. It certainly helps explain the whole deal a bit better for me. Now I feel like my earlier post may have been a bit hasty.

 

[Bodean]

You have to wrap the link in a bun

Quote this to see what eye did.

I get it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, you showed me a trick, remember?

 

[Bodean]

The stick trick?

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, on the computer.

 

[Bodean]

Oh Right! I got it.

How's your kitty and the sea captain's first mate?

 

[MasterBlaster]

They died in a terrible explosion, lol.

I think the spire has a strong presence, and looks like it would change as you got closer from farther away.
