Ha ha.....that's right!

I did some irrigation work for a customer and he was going to put two Queen Palms in himself and I told him to lean them outward in a "V". Well....he did!

One day I'll do a job and lean 4 palms in a "W' to pay homage to one of the greatest comedies ever made.

PS: That's the late Dick Shawn who plays Ethel Merman's beatnik son. He was in a movie I watched this morning on FXM called "The Wizard of Baghdad". Died of a heart attack at age 63 while on stage during a routine.

I wondered the same thing. But it looks like it's been burning for awhile, and with asphalt shingles, probably pine framing, and possibly even a vehicle in there (looks like a garage on that end), it probably has plenty of nasty fuel to make nasty smoke.

Sure seems like a pretty heavy hydrocarbon load there. That's a lot more than shingles and wood trusses. That pics been around awhile. We where never able to find any info on it.

They were solidly built and more compact than the available revolvers.

If you can find one now they go for over $500
