They had already been cut and yesterday (Tuesday) I chopped them lower.
The rock formation is/was an intrusion between layers of the limestone or shale beds that have eroded away. The igneous (volcanic) granite is much harder and weathers slower than the sedimentary rock. This probably happened during the Laramide Orogeny, which formed the Rocky Mountain front range (began 70 to 80 million years ago, and ended 35 to 55 years ago.)

Nice pics. Great kids. I am a non-theist. If I could afford to I would have come there to help you long ago. I just want you to know that we are not selfish, non-volunteers. And I would have brought you a few new cats.

Zero F tonight. We got hammered. I had a short breath and chest cramp trying to shovel out front. I quit. No more shovel work this winter. If the city tickets me for not doing it within 12 hours of the end of the snow, they are welcome. The ticket is cheaper than the cardiac surgeon.
Big huge calamitous earth-wrecking storm is coming, Hobbes. It begins again tomorrow night. Lager-in. Stock up on snacks and beans. Winter is not going to quit yet. This IS Ohio, you know.
Most Birchers I have met are older and will soon be gone, thankfully for the country.
I already had my fill of this season's Paczkis. I had a total of four boxes of six each. I am done.
