A week ago I posted an eBay auction of "five lumps of anthracite coal"This week someone is auctioning off ballast--one rock at a time--and the reserve is greater than $10.00. (HVRR is sitting on a gold mine with the ballast pile down at the gravel pit at Drury's Curve!!). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3220&item=6533774066&rd=1...but, then again, it does come with a genuine certificate of authenticity.sc 'doc' lewis |

With seven hours left to get your bid in---shock of shocks, no one has yet placed a bid. Probably a couple of snipers waiting to place their bids until the last seconds of the auction.sc 'doc' lewis |
