No not strange at all. Too bad this didn't come up prior to the group
gathering in NM.

there is a small church in Santa Fe, with the "mysterious" stair case.
There was a investigation on how it was built, and by who. They found\
donkey hair embedded in it's mix. It has no center, and not attatched\
to a wall for support. It is spiral, and leads to the Choir area. At
first the personal "crawled" up on all fours. AND it's builder, just dissapered into the night.
It has been years since I was there, so memory is foggy. But it would have been an interesting
visit , in Sept.

who lives at the edge of a cloud forrest reserve, where PC building is impossible, but maybe some year in the future, in my 2 acres in
Northern NM, about 1 hr. away from JUdith.
