but i did promise in<br/>

to report on my exploration of the vertical axis at my own beloved ctmany<br/>
so here without further ado are the many cuts needed to show & tell it<br/>
<br/>
attached pix 1 & 2<br/>
the ctmany stone of 1898 is actually only the bilateral many terminal rock<br/>
with conn hand scrawled as an afterthought in folk art<br/>
& with the remains of its shattered predecessors also strewn all about<br/>
<br/>
most likely the 1860 ctny & or the 1803 ctma terminal rocks<br/>
per bus&ss<br/>
<br/>
& since much of the fun of visiting ctmany consists in hefting & throwing <br/>
these living ghosts around to create &or adapt ones own personalized <br/>
freeform monument<br/>
upon the occasions of each of my several visits i have discovered these <br/>
fragments in highly various locations & unusual arrangements<br/>
<br/>
indeed at the time of my first visit<br/>
i found the 2 largest fragments stacked atop the post<br/>
to form a freakin cross so believable that i was surprised to find i could <br/>
dismantle it<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
pic 3 shows my own original arrangement of these fragments as a flight of <br/>
step stairs for ascending the monument<br/>
as viewed from the vertical axis<br/>
<br/>
the camera is directly over the tripoint<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
after making this pic i climbed my stairs to personally stand upon the <br/>
tripoint 4 feet off the ground<br/>
which sounds & looks much easier than it actually was<br/>
& then finally managed very carefully to snap the piece de resistance<br/>
pic 4<br/>
myself from on high as both subject & object in all 3 states<br/>
with the tripoint pretty much pinned between my eyes<br/>
like a lepidopterist who has collected himself<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so i hope this will incite further explorations of the z axis<br/>
& further developments in precision try pointing generally<br/>
