My 8-year-old nephew asked me if the dredge was a giant metal whale that eats rocks.
He said it with such total confidence while we were watching a video of the cutterhead working, and now I can't unsee it, especially when we're pulling up a big load of aggregate from the riverbed near St. Louis.
Remember that guy who described a sunset as "like a peach bruise"? We all just stared at him. It was so weirdly perfect we didn't know what to say. Some things are just too good for a simple compliment.
