There is a huge gravel pit (more like a mountain) on Wasatch Blvd by Dan's. It is very unsightly. I assume that they are "making" the gravel for all of the bridges UDOT is building.

Noah wanted to know what gravel was. He asked if it was what kept us from floating into outer space. I told him that gravel was little rocks; gravity is what keeps us tethered to Earth.

That explanation was not sufficient for him. He started getting frustrated. Jacob, Gabrielle, and I - were trying to give him the definition of gravity. Physics and other explanations did not work.

Finally, he groans and says, "You are not understanding me! I want to know what gravity is. Is it a flower? A tree? A rock? What is it????"

We decided that we needed to get home and look up gravity in the encyclopedia. Clearly, it would be much easier to explain it if it were a flower. A very beautiful flower with an incredible scent. Yes. That is what gravity is. It think that it is orange with a blue center.
