Sometimes IO is depressing!

I didn't mean for it to be depressing...more fasinating. Surely I can't be the only one fascinated by these asphalt time capsules.

Usually when I see these sole- and paw-printed surfaces, all I can think of is what the person who had the job of cleaning off those shoes or paws afterwards thought.

Homeowner Wants Oilman Pickens Charged With Theft - cbs11tv.com

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)
As a youngster, Texas oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens scratched his name in wet concrete in the driveway of his grandmother's Oklahoma house.

Now the man who owns the century-old home is pursuing theft and vandalism charges against the 81-year-old billionaire, saying workers for Pickens came to the house recently without permission and removed the concrete slab with the well-known name.

When I Walked along cobble stones streets and walkways in Irish castles and in Edinburgh Scotland I sat pondering just how many years they had been there and how many people had walked along the same pathways.
