Aliens…ATTACK!
Today, I intended to begin work on the three pitiful columns on the porte-cochère. But when I arrived at the Cross House…
…the columns were GONE! Gone! I knew, somehow, that this could only be the work of…dastardly ALIENS! I rushed into the house so I could call the UFO police, but when I stepped into the kitchen…
…I found the three columns! Soooooooo, the columns were even too pitiful for intergalactic thieves! Obviously, they just beamed them into the kitchen!
While the columns are, indeed, pitiful, the hand-carved capitals are in amazing condition! This calmed me down, and then I realized that having the columns in the kitchen would make their restoration hugely easier. And the kitchen has AC!
Luckily, the aliens were not, it seems, interested in the four restored columns on the south porch. I guess they don’t like green?
Well, you know what I have to do tomorrow.
I have to up my alien abduction insurance.

Save your money, Ross. Insurance underwriters will surely reject an application from a guy who writes “Klaatu barada nikto” on his parlor ceiling. Talk about assuming the risk!
Good point, John!
Wow! those columns are huge! seeing them on the range really gives perspective…
I think we all knew that the aliens would return eventually; they probably intended to putty and paint, but then found that it is impossible to hold the tools and brushes properly without thumbs…
Sometimes you worry me.
Hee hee! I had a good chuckle. Thanks!
