[AT] unidentified horse drawn equipment

No rocks around my place Herb.  Well unless you call a peeble about 1/2 inch 
a rock.  In that case we have a few.  I went to a football game in Raleigh 
years ago.  As I was walking through the parking lot before the game a man 
and his young (6 or 8 year old) son were walking near me.  The boy looked 
down at the ground and said "Daddy, who put all these rocks out here?"  I 
said, I know you live down my way.
