news Just checking in to see if things have gotten any better in r.a.p.
(They haven't).

Have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and probably the rest of the
2008 holidays as well.

Happy Solstice!

(Boy! Holiday decorations are a bitch when you have to lug 20 ton slabs
around for a Stonehenge model!!). :~)

Couldn't you use concrete forms and pour them in place?


He's old school.


A lot of people have a family tradition of going out and cutting their own
stones. Of course that has given way to commercial stone cutters peddling
their rocks at the many solstice-stone stands that spring up just before the
holiday. (the best deals are to be had just before the actual solstice!)
Still others opt for the fake stones that can be purchased at local
department stores. These typically have instructions for setting up and
pointing the megalith in the correct direction along with calculations
already worked out for azimuth, etc. for your lat/lon (much like a satellite
dish!) Some kits even have a reusable fake goat full of ketchup (catsup?)
for it's obvious use at zero-hour if your particular brand of paganism calls
for such observances. (Some assembly required. Requires 2 AA batteries, not
included.)
