I did a tour of the Hamburg lumberyard two years ago as part of the first round at the Hamburg Academy. They showed me pictures of what once was... and pointed to areas that once had been chock full of lumber and now were either sold, built over... or otherwise occupied. I think they had something like a 10th of the amount of wood there compared to their heyday. More writing on the wall. Saw an add in this months Journal for Pearl River... said something about there being 10000 Pearl River instruments being under construction at the moment I was reading the add.... I guess I was supposed to be impressed. Why don't shear numbers like this impress me ? More writing on the wall. I feel like there has been a great and terrible tremor in the force..... er...
