One last high histo-presto question to mull over this weekend.

The state is planning for a new Post 9-11 security system for our Town
and Davis 1833 local granite - gneiss - capitol.  A question has been
raised regarding adhesives and stone.  The designers have been
instructed not to drill into the stone and are now looking at
adhesives.    Are there any adhesives which could be used to attach
various various cameras and devices to stone and which could be cleaned
up at some date prehaps way in the futures with nary a trace?  No,  I
didn't think so.  My view is to design the system so the stone would be
not drilled or glued at all and to limit attachments to more repairable
plaster surfaces.

Non Histo-Presto query.   When was the last time a governor was
assassinated anyway?

Only curious, Secretary Ashcroft.
