[at-l] AT-L Three Little Pigs (Summary of recent messages)

[TRich@FDIC.gov (Rich, Timothy D.)]

Greetings,

In the interest of those strapped for time, I offer the following summary of
recent threads:

Once upon a time there were three pigs.  One built a house of straw bales,
one a house of the stick-built variety, and one a house of bricks (actually
a rammed earth home with an adobe brick chimney).  There was a big bad wolf
prowling about, roundly chastising the pigs because of their contributions
to suburban sprawl.  The wolf threatened to huff and puff, and puff and puff
and puff, and blow down their homes with this really nifty windmill that you
could see for miles and miles.  Well, pig homes one and two were obliterated
by the windmill, but it provided clean, renewable energy for pig home number
three.  

As the two pigs were fleeing to pig three's abode, they stripped the
surrounding area of firewood and greatly compacted the soil.  They built a
drunken party bonfire in the fireplace to ward off the wolf, and also to
boil water for their freeze dried food.

The wolf began an assault of pig palace number three, but to no avail.
Number three was a pistol packing pig, and he dispatched the wolf, ruining
the fable experiences of the other two pigs.  They then disposed of the wolf
in an evironmentally friendly manner, along with the copperhead caught up as
collateral damage.

Take Care,

Tim
