Puts you in mind of an entrance to an electrocution chamber or out to a courtyard where there would be a gallows, doesn't it? =8-o

Motts, you are depressing the hell out of me, but I have to admit that I am enjoying it! ;-)

That's what I thought too, Twug--kind of like the Guardian of Forever in "Star Trek".

Rat, that was the first thing I thought of when I looked at the photo. Stargate, Star Trek....

Having worked for city and state institutions in the past I have discovered that the number of steps and amount of paperwork to sell something that is state or federal property often makes it more cost effective to just leave it behind. This is particullary true if the item is not almost brand new and latest model or something really hi dollar. This is probaly why you find so many wheel chairs left behind. It isn't worth spending 500 in labor adn admin costs to sell something worth under 100 on the used market.

Too bad. They should give it away, then. "If you can get it out the door..."
