WHEN NOT BRINGING THE ROCK! | I'm thinking about "the rock".  I'm considering the possibilities of "the rock".  I am exploring the profundities of "the rock".  And I occasionally find myself banging rocks together, partly for the noise they make, but also in the hopes of making a "tool" which will be my ticket to "civilization" and "technology" and ultimately, rumor has it, "fruit leather" and "cheez whiz".  I can but dream...

WORDS OF WISDOM | "Never forget step #1."
