Burning down the house
Well, maybe not burning so much as toppling. This is what I saw on my ride on Wednesday:
This was in Mechanicville. (Click here for satellite view of location. The center of the map is the location of the factory.) It was one of the factory buildings damaged in the tornado years ago. John and I were about 70 miles into our 110 mile ride when we passed this just before it toppled. Three big pieces of equipment were working on this–two on the left were pushing and one on the right was pulling. For a better sense of scale, notice the guy walking around in the middle of the frame.
Luckily John has a video capture mode on his digital camera. Oh, the joy of being gadget geeks.
