Happy Solstice!

(Boy! Holiday decorations are a bitch when you have to lug 20 ton
slabs around for a Stonehenge model!!). :~)

Couldn't you use concrete forms and pour them in place?

He's old school.

A lot of people have a family tradition of going out and cutting their
own stones. Of course that has given way to commercial stone cutters
peddling their rocks at the many solstice-stone stands that spring up
just before the holiday.

Some kits even have a reusable fake goat full of ketchup (catsup?) for
it's obvious use at zero-hour if your particular brand of paganism calls
for such observances.

I think you've hit on something that has caused my great consternation --
at our home, we sacrifice a virgin, but every year, when I plunge the
dagger into her heart, all the air leaks out.




Wow! That sure turned dark! Sacrifice?!? Who said anything about plunging
daggers into virgins, etc.!?! I was talking about those little
animal-shaped squeeze bottles used for squirting your favorite tasty
condiment on your french fries just as the sun reverses direction. Kinda
like toasting with a glass of champagne at the stroke of the new year in
some cultures. Of course, if you're a Brit you can substitute mayo for the
catchep and squeeze it all over your "chips".......just like the Druids
prolly did!

BTW - ".......when I plunge the dagger into her heart, all the air leaks
out." I don't believe I'd have said that. :-)

We take the solstice very seriously at our house, though the loud POP when I
use the dagger annoys the neighbors! :~)
