IMG: PAW 46 (ric)

Week 46:
Garland won a woodworking blue ribbon at the NC State Fair -- his entry was his own coffin. In this photo, Garland is showing me how he plans to be laid out: thumbs up on his left hand (his trademark on his construction jobs over a lifetime) and his old Mason's trowel (operative and speculative) in his right hand.

Gustav Borglum crafted Mount Rushmore (My favorite stupid question is still often asked there: Who discovered it?). He also did a couple of bronzes on the square of our state Capitol. Craftsmen from his museum in the Dakotas recently came to copy the statues. This one is of Charles B. Aycock, our "Education Governor" from the early 20th century.

Raleigh may have more Sabrett carts than necessary. After two hot dog vendors ended up on People's Court a few years ago, the city started requiring assigned spots.

A cold front gave us an early taste of winter and holiday chill.
