Snyder Weeping Angel - aka Crying Angel

She's Home!

Angel Installation:

Angel Install Photo Albulm (here)

note: The Photo Album is a work in progress. For now, I just dumped every picture I took with little or no titles and descriptions.

When I arrived the crew was temporarily stuck delivering from the right side of the grave site. The truck "took out" an American flag and came within inches of hitting a memorial on a near by grave. The damaged flag was replaced.

There was unobstructed access from the left although they had to drive over several graves. No damage was done. The crew is great with the boom. It took very little time to dig a retangular hole, set dry concrete, set the granite pad, and then set the Angel. They made it look easy.

During the Angel install I noticed that Allen Egerton (the previous volunteer cemetery administrator) has a family grave site directly in front and to the left of the Snyder site. I included several photos of his site in the photo album.

Just discovered that Google AI says:

"....The Weeping Angels are some of the most terrifying alien predators from the sci-fi series Doctor Who. Known as quantum-locked entities, they freeze into inanimate stone statues whenever they are observed. But don't look away—the second you blink or turn your back, they move impossibly fast to send you back in time and feed on your unlived days...."

James says it was loaded into the ship. There is no firm ETA but could take 3 months.

James said it is headed to Waco via Houston but Google AI says this:

".........There isn't a direct, deep-draft ship channel from Houston to Waco; the Houston Ship Channel extends from the Gulf to Houston, but Waco sits on the Brazos River, requiring smaller, shallower-draft vessels or barge traffic that connects through the Houston Ship Channel, potentially using inland waterway systems to reach areas near Waco, though it's primarily a river system, not a true "ship channel" for large ocean-going vessels up to Waco .........."
