>What can't be fixed is the most important state icon of New Hampshire. The Old Man of the Mountain, a natural rock formation that resembles the profile of a man, fell down last weekend.

It's odd. I've been through New Hampshire one time, and only a very very small part of it on my way to Quincy, Mass. for a mission trip. But when I read your post, Sam, I couldn't believe it. The only place I've seen it, until just now cause I showed my brother because he didn't know what I was talking about, was on the state quarter. Although it's not a real man or anything like that, it still makes you feel kind of empty. I know how you feel, I've lived near Jackson, Tennessee for 10 years now and Sunday those tornadoes tore down all those old buildings that I've grown to love. I just want to say that I'm sorry for your state's loss. I'm just glad that it's been around so long that there are plenty of pictures of it. G'day.
