I’ve been reading a book series on my kindle via library loans (was on hold list for past couple that I finished), but the wait list for the next one is 10 weeks. Ordered the next two hardbacks on sale to read/possibly donate after and now realizing the length of what I’ve been reading 😆

Looking at the bottom of a hefty hardback that is sitting on a granite countertop, and it’s clear this is long read. Unclear whether the book or the granite weighs more.

newatlas.com/environment/... Curious about this from C-crete, another non-cement binder made from grinding granite and applying a few "proprietary steps". Granite is about as abundant as it gets. Wonder what those proprietary steps are.

Two bits of good news: first, concrete without any CO2 emissions Turns out many rocks when very finely ground are quite reactive. Add water and a bit of sand and gravel, hey presto, concrete! So far they've use zeolite, basalt, granite (basalt even sequesters CO2!!) newatlas.com/environment/...

We'll be up there in a couple of weeks. Honestly, everything on Cottage Street is horrible in July/August, but Rock and Art Shop is fun. Our friend the geologist REALLY likes it a lot. But she's the only person aside from me who liked the Granite Museum in Mt. Desert.

Saw some very cool art today

Ursula von Rydingsvard 

Ogromna, 2009

A huge, I mean giant. It's about 10 feet taller than the art museum building behind it. inverted trapezoid shaped cone. It's made of increasingly wider slabs of cedar and granite
