large, rusted metal, dirt bucket. Recently "She" was moved to a "permanent memorial site"
closer to town. The thing weighs 230 tons.

It destroyed an ecosystem, a dark-green ancient forest, and the
economic underpinnings of a century-old culture. Yet they "honor" it in a county
where families are living in abandoned houses, stores, and post offices.
