The old town seal, which still works just fine.

As long as you are as strong as the Terminator

FYI the state huntin' and fishin' license system is down today. As I mostly fish at camp, which falls on about the same date every year, and since a license lasts a calendar year, I usually wait until the last minute to buy a new one.

While we waited for our dear, sweet, helpful, and infinitely patient town clerk to attempt to get connected and get me my get out of jail card from the state, we chatted.

The boss remarked on the old town clerk sign hanging above the office door. It long predates the modern office building, and no one knows just how old it is.

Then Roxanne showed us the old town seal. It is a massive hunk of metal, heavy enough that you might want to bring along an extra pack pony if you took it on the road.

Amazingly, although it took some muscle to activate it, it made a perfectly nice stamp. No way to know how long it has been around, but I'll bet it's a lot longer than the new one is going to last. Thanks, Roxanne....

And the new one.
They don't make 'em like they used to, do they?
