Blast from the past

Yesterday we went to a factory that makes onyx and marble stuff. It was about 45 minutes away. They mine onyx and marble here. It was so weird to be there, as I had shopped in so many places like that in high school and college, and had hauled an onyx chess set home for Brian Buckley way back when! Don´t tell OSHA. There were absolutely no safety precations at this place. Exposed belts, no eye, breathing or hearing protection, etc. I was glad when the tour was over. Kind of reminded me of Mt. Airy!
