Interesting that this came up in today's local newspaper.  A sugar mill processing plant that has towers 200' high was mentioned as being an eyesore because it's sat vacant since 1977.  One side wants to tear it down.  Others are presenting ideas to save it and make use of it somehow.  It's a local landmark since it was built.  Should maybe get some documentation of my own.  A couple of years ago a grain mill in town caught fire and was later demolished.  Too late for that one.  The biggest local shopping mall that I helped build and opened in 1984 is slated for demolition to make way for a more modern mall this summer/fall.  Another one to capture before it disappears.  You know you've been around a while when they start tearing down what you built to make way for the new stuff.  

I wish I could turn the clock back and make use of some opportunities that I passed up.  Vantages from rooftops have occurred many times, yet I never used them.  Someone at a jobsite I was on said to come up to the roof.  We did and saw a tornado form, appear and disappear in the distance, several times.  The only one I've seen.  We don't get many tornadoes here.  One every 10 to 15 years is all. I wish I had a movie of that, even a few shots.  But any camera in a carpenter's toolbelt is just asking for trouble.

Your post has reminded me to get after it, and not delay too long.  Sometimes I wonder what, if anything, will remain of what I've had a hand in building, 50 years from now.  Yet, I've heard it said, that's progress.  Hmmmm......Mike
