Accordion Awareness Month, Day 2: “My desires are…unconventional”

I’m just grateful that Anitra’s into this kind of thing.

(You may have noticed that there are button accordions, which I normally don’t play, in the collection. This is a no-shame zone, and I’m allowed to experiment!)

There are only about two weeks between these two scenes

Here’s an interesting observation from Reddit: there are only about two weeks between when the moment pictured below takes place…

The final “Luthen Rael and Lonni Jung” scene from the final episode of “Andor,” where they meet for the last time.
“Tell me about the weapon.”

…and this one:

The final scene of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” with the principal characters at the medal ceremony standing onstage and facing the audience.
No medal for the Wookiee.

There’s a saying:

There are decades where nothing happens, and  then there are weeks where decades happen.

Some people say the line is one of Lenin’s, but there’s been some debate about that.

Which pill would you choose?

My pick is number 2, as gravel is a key ingredient of concrete.

Many people use the terms cement and  concrete interchangeably, but that’s wrong. Cement is just one ingredient of concrete; it’s the “glue” that holds the aggregates — that’s a fancy term for “little bitty bits of hard stuff” — together. Those aggregates are typically sand and gravel.

Half of all gravel is used for concrete, and since 2006, humanity has been producing enough concrete to create a cube that’s 1.2 miles by 1.2 miles by 1.2 miles every year. Providing the gravel for even a small fraction of the annual concrete production at with a zero cost of goods sold would be pretty lucrative!

My backup pick would be number 3, because most locked doors and gates, as well as many walls and fences, would no longer be an obstacle.
