I know!! I think it's so fabulous. I saw some along a highway where they'd cut through rock and I thought 'that is the most, the most, the most brilliant-- you know it seemed to me I was seeing something transcendantly smart. Years later I asked a woman I met who was an engineer about them and she said, 'well I don't know who invented them but they're called gabions.' So I looked them up that way and when I saw who invented them I thought, does this mean I'm also brilliant? But then I just think I'm more like that man who wrote the Marx Bros movies who said, when he saw a beautiful estate and he said, "It's what God would have done if he'd had the money." I mean, made all rocks square. Do you build things?
