In this episode we set out to talk about some meat, and we do eventually for a minute, but it went a completely different direction… and it needed to. We include some pretty important links in our show notes and strongly encourage everyone to listen to the podcast we discuss. Discussion, discourse, opinions, views, perspectives, thoughts, beliefs… all of them and in between are important to talk about. Some are wrong, and some are just wrong for some. Some are right, and some are just right for some. What matters is the freedom of thought and freedom to develop those thoughts over a lifetime. Its part of growing. For sure we still laugh, share some TIL's, and chuckle at obscure shower thoughts.

The problem lies in the type of sand we are using. Desert sand is largely useless to us. The overwhelming bulk of the sand we harvest goes to make concrete, and for that purpose, desert sand grains are the wrong shape. Eroded by wind rather than water, they are too smooth and rounded to lock together to form stable concrete.
