(-: luv the name, "Ypsilanti" :-)

Which /does/ reduce the volume of concrete required to fill the pit,
so why pay to have an outdated press removed /and/ pay to have rubble
[presumably] hauled in [or make up for it in concrete; da capo]? :-)

If someone hasn't already, I think it unlikely anyone will build,
with specificity, a ~Mickey Dee's~ . . . morelike Starbuck's ;-\

<minihijack>

Anyhoo, Michael :-), I Google'd across what I believe to have been
your reason for associating me with "bagpipes": I am not she. :-)

FWIW :-), the only web-presence I've sustained is poetry-related, and
before I Deja'd up AAPC, there was only my Earthlink member-site [on
which I am WIP'ing my grandfather's Pome {sic} Books, so I plug it]:

<http://home.earthlink.net/~cynm/pomeOne/index.htm> :-) :-) :-)

But "bagpipes" *DO* 8^D strike a ~resonant chord~ ;-) in "Cynthia A
[no dot] Moyer" :-)'cuz my parents sailed [Dad still does] a thing
called a *Thistle*, so there were *bagpipers* at The Big Regattas.

But I didn't think I'd, y'know, ~psoted it~ 'fore, like . . . ^now^.

Then, too (-: and what your anecdote more vividly recalled in me :-),
there was the obligatory bagpiper-or-five per Renaissance Faire I've
got in a more recent memory buffer I might have found something to
~babble about~ . . . but, again, no . . . no "bagpipe" cynecdotes ;-)

(-: IOW: I've certainly never psoted to rec.music.makers.bagpipe. :-)

And I'll thank y'all not to call me "Cindy". :-) :-| :-)

</minihijack>

And my oil pit predates yr "ink pit" (-: by less than an hour! :-).

Thanks for posting, Michael. :-)
