pound sand....or so I’ve read on these pages of FR since I’ve joined
This chick is delusional. There’s sand here in North Carolina all the way up to the ancient shoreline at the Fall Line. The Sandhills, I’m sure the well-read and well-traveled have heard of them, unlike the author. A few famous golf courses there including Pinehurst. None of it is anywhere near the current shoreline, it’s nearly two hours inland.
What slogan is that? Yeah, I’m all for increasing my carbon foot print. In fact for dinner tonight I made myself and the wife two big thick NY Strip steaks. Haven’t put my propane grill away just yet so I grilled ‘em up. Yup. I’m eating red meat and using propane to cook it. F them snowflakes and their doomsday bs.
Finally some investment advice from Business Stuff (BS).
I think the Saudis have cornered the market on sand.
True grit is scare now, it is a thing of the past.
Running out of water
Running out of air
Running out of sand
At least California still has plenty of fire.
I’ve done my part on the latter, I haven’t eaten a mud pie in decades...
#Sand
I could see this hashtag trending on all tweets directed at the Un.
Luckily, this fellow captured a bunch of the sand grains with his micro-photography before it all disappeared: http://sandgrains.com/Sand-Grains-Gallery.html
Good kitty litter is made from clay, not sand. (Although the best is the one make from pine pellets.) Sand may give your cat silicosis.
Fuller’s earth, a close cousin of kaolin. The state of Georgia is the world’s capitol of kitty litter. (And they have lots of pine trees for the pine substitute).
The bentonite (clumpable) sand related product may prove to be particularly risky for some cats.
As long as there’s running water and blowing wind, there will be sand.

The above pics are in St. Croix US Virgin Islands. I took the bottom pic this morning.
Jer 33:22) As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
I seem to remember in Eschatology that one of the Covenants had a stipulation that if either the grains of sand or the stars in heaven could be counted, then it would void the covenant.
For this reason, I don’t see it happening.
From a Civil perspective, the fines, generally with sand in rocky arid soils, are predominantly sand.
For water filtration, with rock filters, river rounded sand is preferred. For concrete aggregate and mortar, angular fractured sand is preferred.
Beaches generally aren’t used for sand in concrete mixes, because of their high chloride content.
Some locations might use up their available stockpiles, which is why State Geologists survey their states for available low cost resources.
If we are running out, it is because regulations are keeping quarries from opening in new areas.
Hey, that's what they said, don't ask me why.
I wasted my time reading this ridiculous article.
People are running out of things to write about and fill the 24/7 news cycle and the blogosphere.
I turned off that silly application on Firefox that suggests current news and articles of “interest”. Just a full blown bunch of crap for the most part. Breathless snowflake articles.
Annikin Skywalker approves!
