NRTI as we knew it is no more, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Technically, I'm still employed by the College, though am enjoying a paid hiatus, and working on everything I couldn't work on when I was spending 70 hours a week running the Program, like cleaning up from the tornado that hit, what, 7 years ago now?

Hikers who make the ascent can actually walk beside an intact 2,000 year old embankment wall. At the foot of the hill lies another mysterious enclosure.
