Geology – specifically, soil subsidence – can be a bad thing.
Due to this bad thing, my driveway settled and broke across the middle and had to be replaced. Fortunately, it was under warranty. So yesterday, the contractor ripped out the existing concrete, dug a big hole, and filled it with gravel.
Today, the new concrete is going in.
Well, geology can be a good thing, too.
“Now what,” you might ask, “does this have to do with the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?” Well… just think of the opportunities geology can provide.
Next time you wonder “whatever happened to [insert name of Idiotarian here]”, consider:
- a big ol’ hole in the ground;
- a ton of gravel;
- a fresh concrete slab.
The rest I leave as an exercise for the reader.

I cannot believe I spent the last week doing nought but work. Light blogging, indeed.
Being a responsible grownup sucks.
Now if I could just go back in time, convince my dad to not die, and convince him to give me a whopping huge allowance, I could spend my days & nights working on a masterpiece of the rhetorical arts. But no, it is not to be.
I guess I’ll have to win the lottery.
Whoops – I guess we’ll have to get a lottery here in NC first.
Since that won’t be happening (not if I can help it), and since I won’t be producing my own masterpieces today, I’ll instead urge you to read “Victory” by the inimitable Bill Whittle.
It’s long, but read every word. It’s marvelous.
And in lieu of clicking on my non-existant donation button, click the one on Bill’s main page.
