Professor Arturos had reached the island late in the evening. He
could hardly run fast enough to where it had been discovered. All night
he worked, uncovering more of the rare find.
    "A series of unfortunate events must have led to this", he said. "A
poor, unlucky seaman must have eaten the seed of the Raking Weald, a
very quick growing tree, found only in this region." He went on to say
how a volcano had erupted soon after, maybe a day or two, effectively
blanketing the region with hot ash. "The Raking Weald grows in extremely
alkaline soil, even out of plain ash."
    Great care was taken in breaking the wood apart. Professor Arturos
seemed to glow from the inside as he pryed the layers apart with the
honed blade. "This is indeed an amazing find," beamed Arturos. "Only one
other like this has ever been found, and not even in such good
condition."

The head is a HamaPatch model. The ground is a single isosurface with a
matching texture.

Source is available for anyone who wants it. I might not be able to post
the head's source, though.

Any Q's or comments?

Thanks Tony. I thought it should have a story; the head seemed out of
place there in the sand like that.

Do you know your clock is fast? You appear to be posting at 2:40 , not
11:40. Just thought you might need to know...

How about the timezone? If you have your clock correctly set, but wrong
timezone, your posts will show up having the wrong time stamp...

Right now you have your time zone set to pacific time.

Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 15:42:10 -0800  <--- Pacific standard time

I believe that you are in the eastern time zone which is 3 hours
earlier than where I live. You probably need to set your system
time zone to either Eastern Time or maybe MexicoCity Time depending
on what system settings are available to you.

Tony,
    It seems that you are running Win98. So if you go to Control Pane
and
then Date/Time setup section, you should be able to set the time zone
from
there. To check for the proper time zone on the net,
go to http://www.cnn.com/WEATHER/worldtime/

    You can also check out internet time (or @time) This note was posted

on or about @930

Thanks to both of you. I'll set it right after I send this message. Oh, BTW,
Mr. Art, I'm running Windows 2000 now. :)
