Mexican pebble toting
Bertrand Russell offered the following definition of "work":
Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.
Notes to self:
1) It's well worth spending an extra dollar to have someone other than yourself fill seventeen large-grocery-bag-sized gunny sacks with Mexican Pebble.
The big ones—yes: those, on the far right, please
2) Don't be fooled by that word, "pebble."
3) This is not that kind of pebbling problem you learned about in graduate school.
4) Finally—that smallish area you'd like to cover with rocks? You need about five times more rocks than you think.
