The Stone Age

Three years ago, Grandpa Bob's 80th birthday was celebrated on Peaks Island, Maine, where there are lots of rocks. The rocks are older than Grandpa Bob--roughly 400 million years older. The human species evolved in an environment where rocks were plentiful, and these young male humanoids demonstrate that we are hard-wired to make forts and stuff out of stone.

Also, some among us are hard-wired to knock down the forts that other people make. Hank recalls that he had to rebuild this whole thing all by himself.

P.S. Grandpa will be 83 next week. He's already beyond the stone age.
