You know, when I was a kid, we lived out in the country and I used to drag rock around with my 4-wheeler and made circles and piles and such. I wonder if several millennium from now, someone will find it and speculate if it was a temple, fort, place for human sacrifice, or astronomical clock.

These old stone circles
might be the way ancient folks
tried to play Twister.

Things like, "Left hand, quartz!
Right foot, feldspar
!" They didn't
have plastics for mats . . .

When we were kids we used to take big rocks and logs and arrange them to make pretend forts.
