Very cool. I hope there aren't any human rights violations going on in your yard along with that. Free Tibet!

Did you know you can stuff those with cheese, dip them in batter, and deep fry them. YUMMY! I think there are necklaces made from them, too. Just can't seem to figure out where the turquoise is.

Thanks for the photos. They are up and running.
