Yup, that's it. Always hoped it would come back on the market because I stare in awe of it every trip. It is breathtaking.

MLS, You met The Ghost from Jost

The gentleman you met in the market is a fellow by the name of Courtney "Ghost" Chinnery. Though he may look like a Goat, he is actually The Ghost. Interesting fellow, the brain is burnt out from who knows what over the years, but he can recite and create prose with the best of them. As of...
