Meg drove me to Louisville on Tuesday morning, so that I could pick up a flat bed truck from Penske. She snapped this picture of some huge bridge beams that were stopped across the bridge in Indiana.
I took one last hard look at the piece, gave it a final rinse and headed south (about 500 miles).
This Saturn rocket greets visitors as you cross into Alabama on I-65 south.
A black granite base had been donated by a local business. It was a complete and very pleasant surprise. There were 2 professional photographers (and a TV crew) taking pictures of the installation. So, I will post some of their images next week, after they mail me the photos.
I had an empty flat bed truck, after the installation. There was no way that I was going back to Kentucky without a load of their high-quality white marble. This is the quarry at the Alabama Marble Company about 6 miles out of Sylacauga.
These are 5 of the 6 blocks that I brought back. We're both very eager to get into them.

Hi! I just landed on your blog! I grew up in Sylacauga, and I'm writing a short piece on your "falling star" for my article-essay class. I think it's beautiful, and I love that something from my hometown inspired you to create something so very awesome.
