Although the Ottawa area abounds with bedrock outcrops ranging from about 450 million to 1 billion years, I have yet to find an outcrop of their contact any closer than the south edge of Lake Ontario.
Makes one wonder about the whole ‘time’ thing as it’s only a human invention/creation/system that serves as a completely random measurement designed to bring order to the human existence. What time is to a human may not be what time is to a rock or an animal (even though we assign the same time span to them…. except to dogs for some reason). A tree we decide is 100 years old may be 12,000 years old in the time span of the universe. Same with any non human object on the planet. What is a day to us may be 500 years to the universe……….. Or maybe not.
Hay! That rock is “spoofing you”, he has not been sitting there for 1.2 billion years! He rolled up there only a 150 years ago. Why that guy is not even 1.2 billion years old. He popped out of a volcano just a 10 thousand years ago. He is faking his age. I know I was there, saw it all. Yep! He is a sneaky young whippersnapper.
I thought it funny how the Old Man of the Mountain fell off just after appearing on the state quarter. Met a group of guys from NH – they were obviously upset over that.

I’ve always wondered about the “Watch for Falling Rock” signs. By the time you see one, it’s too late to do much.

“Say, is Carl still up there?”
“Yup. Just 7 years ago, he tripped a caveman on a stone wheel, it was really funny!”
“Wow, a stone wheel, what a life!”
“Yeah…”

The fallen rock aren’t worth a warning sign; it’s the falling rock that are.
