Next day the concrete contractor came and put down the new area. Ten days later the color difference is barely noticeable.

This is a picture of the day they put it down .... I'll take a current picture and show you what it looks like.

Oh, man. This keeps getting better and better.

MOM! Stop. Back up. Reread your caption. Make my right eye stop twitching uncontrollably.

I hope not, cause the 2012 calendar has the Hoover bridge in it, so it's definitely on my Christmas list!! But please, go fix the caption? Please?

Since the original caption has been more properly worded, the above comments might not make much sense.

I'm okay with bizarre-seeming comments. The webmaster might be able to go in and remove them, but where's the fun in that. I guess you could change the caption to include the old comment, preferably striked out.

— Catherine Hovell 2011-11-09
No way. This is hilarious. I'd like to cement this conversation in history.

— John Hovell 2011-11-09
I see what you did there, John. I believe that to be a (debatable, but) acceptable use of the word. Think "rubber cement", etc. I don't _like_ it, but it's accepted. BTW, can we do this whole thing with the original comment striked out, but visible?

— Catherine Hovell 2011-11-09
What is the problem with rubber cement? Is it not concrete enough for you? This website is very long in the tooth... I think the encoding is UTC-8 and it doesn't support HTML in the comments so no strikeout is available. I swear I have opened up the code on my computer like 10 times and debated making a project out of updating it to something resembling the web in the last 5 years. I just simply can't find the time!
