quasigeostrophyYour point being?
Reminds me of the story my friend B was telling me last weekend as he was showing us foundations in Boston on which he has worked. I think it was for One Lincoln St. He leaned over to check something with the rebar as concrete was being poured, and his cell phone belt clip caught on the guard fence. His phone fell down into where they were pouring concrete. He took a second to try to reach over, but couldn't, so he stood and watched as his cell phone got covered in concrete, permanently entombed in the foundation of the new One Lincoln St. tower in Boston.

Date: 2003-10-31 09:29 am (UTC)Many years ago while hang gliding, my pager "fell" into the surf off Big Sur from an altitude of about 1000 ft.
My boss at the time wisely decided not to replace it.
