Wow! The remnants would make for the most expensive granite kitchen counters evah. It'd be quite the conversation piece though.

[dragnet2]

Just like the rest of california, incrementally crumbling.

[NohSpinZone]

Right. Didn’t think of that; it is a good metaphor.

[mikelets456]

I thought this was a joke about a Macbook operating systems clashing....

[liberalh8ter]

Just like the rest of california America, incrementally crumbling.

Nothing stays the same forever.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Nothing stays the same forever.

Amen. We lost the famous "Man of the Mountains" in New Hampshire a few years back.

[Blueflag]

Caused by climate change. Trumps fault...

[Leaning Right]

This is obviously Trump’s fault.
I just can’t figure out how he did it.

1. All mountains are temporary.

2. The mountains don’t care whether you live or die.

"Holy God! We were talking about that earlier. Remember I said you could see the whole backside through the light?"

Exodus 33

17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

I remember El Capitan when it was more intact. Ah the good old days.

“Caused by climate change. Trumps fault...”

Maybe, but I’m still trying figure out if it is the too much rain or too little rain or global warming or global cooling or sea levels rising type of climate change....

[billorites]

Been there,
Done that.

[blackdog]

Rain melts rock.

[xp38]

These rock formations had gravitas

[nesnah]

Rain melts dissolves rock. (albeit, very slowly)

[Robert DeLong]

The only difference is this wasn’t crumbling because of Democrats, or any politician. 🙂

...Just when you thought you could take El Capitan for granite...
