Absolutley no Vanagon content, Friday nothwithstanding, but this "rock" reference reminded me of a poem from my childhood:

I wish I were a little rock, Sittin' on a hill, Doin' nothin' all day long, Just a sittin' still.

I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't sleep, Why, I wouldn't even wash. I'd just sit still for a thousand years, And rest myself, b'gosh.

The older I get, some days being that rock sounds OK. Then again, the long rest will come soon enough, and my carbon footprint will cease, so I'm drivin' my van until then, footprint and all.
