4. It's going to take a while.

Caption on Richmond Times-Dispatch no less ( boy have times changed)



BTW - the are taking it to a women’s prison on the James. Beautiful piece of property (right across the river from the men’s State Farm) that the state should be able to make a pretty Penny off if they ever sell it.

6. We have lift off...Bobby's off the pedestal!

I didn't realize that is where they were moving it. I just heard it was being placed in storage.
