When that story broke about the rat hole I was thinking, "Oh boy! Another opportunity to exercise my inner artsy-fartsy demons!" Just gotta make a casting, then a plaster mold and then start cranking out ceramic replicas. Ought to be a pretty penny in such an endeavor but Holy Moly it was cold that week and casting could be problematic. And then I recalled one of those procedural cop shows on TV and they made a cast of tire tracks, in the snow, but they used sulfur, a technique I never heard of. I was willing to try but I was fresh out of sulfur and it could be tricky showing up on a residential street with a camp stove melting sulfur. Time passed, it warmed up but then everybody and his brother was showing up and just like that! the golden opportunity slipped away. No worries, there will be others.
And speaking of sidewalks, I saw this warm sentiment scratched into the concrete near the Geezer Chateau.
