The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota
In the beginning there was the void, and an
empty room. And lo... Br. Elias brought in
some used lumber from an old machine
shed that had been torn down. He cut the
lumber into many pieces 40 inches long and
he called the pieces "legs". And he saw that
they were warped, but that was all he had to
work with and so he used them anyway. And
he took some more of the lumber, and he
made more boards 36 inches long, and he
drilled holes in these boards, and he called
these boards, "joists". And he saw that these
too were warped, but that was all he had to
work with, and so he used them anyway. And
he also found some longer boards, and
these he called "runners", and behold, these
too were warped.
So it came to pass that Br. Elias laid all of
these construction materials out according to
his plan, and from these he created two
tables, each one three feet wide, and each
one 12 feet long. And he saw that these new
tables were much taller than the old ping-
pong tables which he also planned to use.
But this is how high he wanted them, and so
he made the ping-pong tables be higher too.
And then he rested, for he had created a
new train table, and he saw that it would do.

LEDs protects the mainline turnout

Fornost. Righ, a tree made from found
foliage graces a small park in a
residential neighborhood.
Far Right, a much younger version of
me, applies colored paper mache on a
blastic net to creat a hillsideview block.
Rocks are real, and were found in the
fields behind the Abbey.
