The grill has arrived.

In the days leading up to the grill's arrival to National Street, there was much strategizing about how best to keep it out of the hands of thieves -- chain it to the fence? lock it to a helical anchor in the ground? lock the back gate? But now, after lugging the thing from Yazoo City, navigating it up the stairs, and pushing it through the backyard, we have a new philosophy: if you're strong enough to move this thing anywhere, you can have it.

Mary Beth thinks it weighs 400 pounds. Ned's guessing 150. Actual weight is probably more like a ton.
