Honestly, your old boss was right. Seen too many frost-heaved posts around here that were just gravel packed. Concrete collar is slower but it actually stays put.

Honestly, that's Cormac McCarthy for you. Tbh, The Road is the one that really gets people, not Blood Meridian.

Got me thinking about all the little things we do without realizing. Like using the same hand for hold and go ahead, just changing the finger. Saw a guy almost get clipped because his spotter misread it in low light. Now I make sure my whole body is part of the signal, stepping into it so there's zero chance of a mix-up. That kind of clear talk without words keeps everyone safe.
