[TheForge] junk, Zoning, and a solution to an age old dilemma

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

While Chase certainly should be deferred to by all and any bureaucrats 
and designated a national treasure at the very least...he had a hell of 
a time getting permits for a big gas forge recently....inaine me thinks.
In the middle  of that sentance  there was an interruption when a racoon 
tried to eat  some of thecats...the dogs were polite enough to corner it 
and now I will plant it under the fruit tree it stole the fruit off of 
last fall....Revenge of the plum tree.
