Yes Frogs do regard Beer as a currency. I have done several favors for Frogs and have been paid in kind with everything from Guiness to Yuengling. One would think they just get paid to go and buy more currency :wink:

Laurent,

Thanks for posting those photos. How "recent" are they? It sure would be neat if that relic was rescued.

Those photos were taken in 2003. We can see some parts (including turrets) have already disappereared compared to photos taken around 10 years ago.

Heard they were officially recoevered for another Bolo restoration.

I hope you told them that if they bring up the wrong thing by mistake that you are willing to assist in finding it a good home?

Couldn't we just get a petition going? I'm sure my senator (Sen. Brownback) would love to help if he knew it involved historic preservation.
