Crop Circles

Date April 7, 2008

The other day Wendy Day, our hospitality maven, made a comment about our new building and it has really stuck with me. So much so that I had to blog about it.
“It looks like crop circles out there,” Wendy said. And it’s true our ‘barrel warehouse’ resembles a scene from a Sci-fi flick. But in the place of eerie cornfields there are picturesque grape vines. The trenches for the foundation are dug and if you briefly look at the dirt it sure looks like we had an extraterrestrial visitor here at Whitehall. I’m just glad that I’m not here at night or my imagination would really get the best of me… You’ve just crossed over into the Twilight Zone…( Do do do doo… do do do doo… do do do doo…)

The technical term for those designs scratched deep into the dirt is “excavated footings,” or so I am told. This large grid pictured below is the outline of the new building and where the foundation will be. I am really looking forward to the progress and actually seeing something rising out of the dirt, like a building and not the man from Mars.
