Talking to my kid's teacher about the local river stones
I was at my son's school for a field trip thing last month, and his teacher pointed out how the smooth stones in the creek bed were all different colors. She said it's because they came from different rock layers upstream that eroded over thousands of years. I mean, I'd just seen them as gray rocks before, but now I actually look for the red and green bits. Has anyone else had a moment like that where you started noticing the geology right under your feet?

Totally get that. I started seeing the different layers in sidewalk cracks after a geology podcast.

Oh great, now I'm going to be the weirdo staring at the driveway gravel. Thanks for that.
