[Boatanchors] Preserving history - an Australian horror story

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

Thanks for the chuckle, Bill - I was worried that I had a sickness, but
this fellow's story has reassured me that I'm fine and there's still a
ways to go before there is any need for concern (or before professional
counseling).

I learned long ago to sneak stuff in under the cover of darkness. In the
previous town where I lived, people thought I was a Russian spy (this
dates me a bit). Later when they found out that I worked with the gov't,
they decided I must be CIA. Fortunately I moved to another town into a
large, old house with a nice carriage house (it's really just one big,
pretty trucking container) where the gear resides. Apparently I'm doing
something right because my closest neighbors (about 300 feet away)
believed that this was only my 'summer house' for the first few years I
was there because they never saw me.

Thank God I never found time to erect the 65' forest fire lookout tower
stored at my family's place. I would've been carted off in a straight
jacket for sure. We'll save that for another day and location.
