I don't know if anyone will ever know why. <br /><br />Sure, I'd like to see it -- is it a motor-powered device or a manual tool?Brian Kallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082602126850605083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811749743523633503.post-45450203711653675522009-10-29T03:47:09.689+00:002009-10-29T03:47:09.689+00:00What a well written piece - but how utterly incomp...What a well written piece - but how utterly incomprehensible that there are people capable of this. Very distrubing.<br /><br />I had to search this and although I found little, it seems someone was apprehended? Was there any understanding of why?<br /><br />BTW - I am trying to get a photo of the ice cutting machine in the nearby pond - but so much rain has made the climb down to the pond treacherous and the water murky so the under water parts are not visible. I shall wait for less fallen leaves and more sun and try again for photos. It occurs to me that understanding the design of such a machine could be useful right?Cecelianoreply@blogger.com
