    The Ultimate Earth Mover

    This beast is amazing! I have actually have seen it in action on TV a few times. Imagine the dirt that it could move in a day!

    This thing is called a Bucketwheel, and they're used quite a bit in Europe, but rarely in the U.S., mainly because they are so expensive to build, and they're so damn slow.

    I should take some pictures of the 320-ton haul trucks out at Kennecott and post them up. Sure is intimidating seeing those things in your rear view mirror!!
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    Yeah do! See if you cant break away from all that hard labor to snap a few photos. I would like to see some of the machinery at work.

    It's always funny to see a 69-ton tank riding the tail of a little two door toyota while traveling 45 down a freeway. Usualy the toyota doesn't think it's so funny though. The look on their face is usualy the best.
