        There was an interesting documentary about Stonehenge in
the Nova series on PBS last night.  A group of people were erecting
there own trithlon (sp) consisting of two vertical 14 ton rocks and
a 9 ton rock on top using only ropes and logs and volunteers to provide
the manpower.  Gave some interesting insights into how Stonehenge
may have been erected.  There was a brief discussion of the police
operation to keep the stones free of Hippies and Druids at the summer
solstice and footage of two policemen escorting away a hairy guy
in an Afghan (hey, was that you Mike ? :-).   Sadly no footage of
Hawkwind, oh well
