"While Stone Eagle is Doak’s first design in the desert..."

John,

TD doesn't actually grow grass, he just specifies if grass should be grown!

I had no idea that Weitz had those pictures up.

Our friend Dr. Yancey Beamer was out to visit the other day, and there should be some pictures of our progress here soon.  It's really coming along fast.
