@hown - Yes, you'd love it. Next time you visit your family out here you need to see some of the building materials recovery places. This one is a way down I-5 in Aurora (30 miles at most) and it's just a wonder to behold - for someone like Bubba and his cam. :)
The stories they could tell...were they in an ol' Victorian full of dark, overloaded rooms or in the center of a simple area where the water was shared on Saturday nights?
