David, hi. Your writing is a salve and genius. It is not easy to make amusement and education out of such a lowly thing as erosion nor to raise the steps of Suzzallo Library to the level of Angkor Wat! Kudos!
Nicely done article. I especially enjoyed, "such as the ever popular antimony, gallium, and bismuth." As for wear on stairs, it happens just as much on vinyl and linoleum, especially at turns where people spin on the soles of their shoes, grinding grit into the floor.
This makes me feel so much better about my cracked and crumbling driveway. Plus, your "oh my god" was precious!
