[ale] Engineering Archaeology

[Jim Kinney]

Ha! The project book "What this goddamn this is, how it works, and what we

-- 
James P. Kinney III

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
