ESP Round IV
Just heard that The End of the Tunnel will remain for another year at Eastern State Penitentiary.
This is great news, even though it blows my three year prediction. I’m just glad that I don’t have to spend my winter break in Philadelphia demolishing the beast. I do predict that’s how I’ll use my vacation time in winter ‘09, however. Nothing quite gets me going like the thought of life in the penitentiary, brandishing a Sawzall while braced against sub freezing temperatures, slicing hundreds of feet of steel pipe, and hauling away thousands of pounds to one of Philly’s gritty scrap steel yards. Nothing will compare to the feeling when the dirty paw of the manager slaps a grimy $20 dollar bill in my hand and I know that it’s all I have left to show for a couple thousand bucks worth of pipe and about 300 hours of my newborn daughters life. Plus a few pictures.
Seriously, though: I am not looking forward to it.
Some may remember a post I did a while ago where I though I could barely make out the pipes on a digitally enhanced satellite photo from Microsoft’s answer to Google maps. Well, I found a new one on the same website, and this one is a no-doubter:

Day, good news brother. You should extend the vacation and do a piece with the pipes from the penitentiary to the junk yard.
Oh, did I ever get back to you about my brother’s wedding?! If not here’s the scoop:
-leaving on thursday the 16th
-coming back to Phila on the 19th (sunday)
-staying with my mom at the hotel, Lynne’s too pregnant to fly or drive the amount of time it would take us to Timbuktu and Gali will stay with her.
