The whole State of New Hampshire has been in mourning since May 3rd. The future looks so bleak that I even had to check my clocks to make sure they didn't stop, short, never to go again, when the death occurred. I'm talking about the collapse of the Old Man in the Mountain: the granite icon of our state. This is a rock formation that has been around for tens of thousands of years, and is a very important cultural point of interest for this state. If you are not familiar with the Old Man, look at one of the new state quarters and you will see the image on the reverse side. The obverse side of course has that other stone-faced old man, George Washington.
