the sculpture wont be built in order to ensure optimal security at that location.
Good call. Sand people travel single file to hide their numbers. Before you knew it, you'd be overrun.

“..was to include a carving of the DNC logo, stars and strips...”
strips?
To: Rona_Badger
It seems the more the liberals tightened their grip, the more the sand slipped through their fingers.

When I see pictures of the Croc-upiers I always wonder if they’re the children of Deadheads.

Cut-and-pasted directly from the source! I think it's a tell.

What were they gonna try to sculpt? An empty beach? Maybe a greenside bunker for the Chief Golfing Executive?

(11) 15 tons loads, (9) 12 ton loads.

Yes, I checked to see if it was in the original source before I mentioned it. Better fits the DNC than stripes.

Insufficient data. A 2 variable equation requires 2 separate equations to solve. Also, the assumption that the trucks were full is implied but unstated.
LOL.
However, assuming full trucks, each truck made 7 trips.

Or the 15 ton truck made 15 trips, and each 12 ton truck made 2.

or were the optics of a giant sand vagina just not what they wanted after all?

I will quote the most awesome Strat (and Airborne) brother Jimi Hendrix - “and so castles, made of the sand, fall in the sea, eventually” Kfollowed by a killer backward guitar solo.

You load fifteen tons
Whaddya get?
A lot of weird people
And trillions in debt
To: Rona_Badger
Oh well. Heavy rain forecast for next week might have been a factor.
Either that or someone pointed out that the Socialist Worker's Party statue replica probably wasn't a very good idea.

According to News14, Charlotte was awarded a $50 million federal security grant for the convention (same amount given to the RNC, meaning our tax dollars). I guess the extra security for all that sand put them over budget. Not to mention the homeless problem. Sand does have many uses... just sayin’

Among municipal workers, there is always the danger of siilicosis from chronic breathing of road sand, especially when it has been crushed fine by tires.

I think they had to send everyone over to finish the 0bama sculpture.
