(Touched off by 2fries Treethedral)
Select a suitably sized slab of solid sandstone. (Imagine immensity).
Location: large lake.
A decent distance downhill drop is desirable.
Supervise a series of steerable sluices.
Water washes where where we would want windows.
Time
ticks.
Water wanders where-ever we wish.
Time ticks.

I attended a religious service out in the middle of what was not at the time the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Political Area. Incredible, breathtaking...
Says one, "If this overhang came down, they'd never find any of us"
Says another, "Naw, it's been this way since the beginning. It'll be standing here a thousand years from now" |
