Find any ancient weed in it?

I'd be surprised if they would let him keep the pipe. Have to believe the government has some law that gives them the rights to this. If not it should belong to whomever owns the land?

So someone parked a ship right in the middle of Alexandria? I know these beltway people are lousy drivers, but geez.

I can see Wooly sitting on his rustic deck overlooking a babbling brook decked out in his LL Bean boots, Eddie Bauer flannel shirt and J Peterman khakis with this pipe in one hand and a Johnny Walker Black in the other thinking to himself, "I'll bet Koon ain't doing this right now!"

Its a long story, the Potomac actually ran right through there. Early settlers backfilled in order to be able to load and unload ships easier.

FIFY

This story will be on NBC Nightly News tonight at 6:30pm. Can't remember the lady's name but she was a darling. Erica or Emily? She looked and sounded very familiar. Don't watch Nightly too much.

The guy behind the camera had ND gear all over the place... sweatshirt, headrest of the vehicle... Good dude!

Circa,

Not to be a killjoy, but how much is it going to set your construction project back now that it's an archeological site?
