_{Fascinating. This article serves to showcase the best and the worst of US government. It took forever to make a decision and even longer to fund it but, eventually, history was preserved. Is this also nostalgia at its' best or worst?}

_{It also featured technology as advanced and known here in the US. A chimney company + a house moving company holding hands to get this done. Outstanding. However, the technology of moving very large objects along the ground in the US had been provided at Cape Kennedy when moving several millions pounds of rocketry from one point to another there.}

_{I find almost equally fascinating the comment about Lightening Whelks. I suppose I could subsist on one clam a month but it would depend upon how large the clam was.}

_{Best regards,}
