Prophetic words.

Wirthlin's statement makes a lot of sense to me. One does not realize how they can miss everyday things until they go somewhere where they are not available. It could be a corned beef sandwich or a sunset.

Joni Mitchell  – Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

In reference to the title:  Better taken for granite than filled with schist...

Beautiful picture and lovely sentiment!  We had a hard frost last night, so my flowers out front are wilted today.  Yesterday, I got a brief glimpse of them, and they were gorgeous!  Even though many of them are weeds...

Familiarity Breeds Contempt, A principle as old as the hills, Ben Franklin had a quip for it...

"Fish and visitors have something in common:  Both begin to stink after 3 days."

But then again it is said....

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

But in Human society there is always a conundrum, How does this apply to Motherhood and Marriage? For no matter how ugly an individual's countenance may be, He will always have a mother and usually a mate at one time or another.

Even this character...... (don't know if it passes for Granite, but it's the definition of stone faced)

But then again, we must all play gneiss with each other

Speaking for myself, I never meta morphic I didn't like.

But I'm a sedimentary old fool sometimes.

By the way, is that bird storking me?

Well Adjutant's are usually Flinty type Alum's with a real Bastnasite stare.

I wouldn't want one flocking my way.....

But that is the Palladium of his Santite.

Is that a basalt on my credibility?

You are the Magma at the core of our Santite brother, all the rest are mere crustal residue.
