Hi! Thanks for the return visit!
When I saw this video I had to add it to my collection of great videos. If I had to get married again, this is the way I would come down the aisle! This really captures so much more what “celebrating a marriage” means. What a great demonstration of the joy that marriage brings. After 31 years of marriage this is still the way I feel! I want to meet these people and hang out with them and let them know that they are starting out on the right foot–and that it only gets better with that kind of attitude!

I hope someone at the Michigan Dept. of Transportation is looking into things like this to repair all the roads in Michigan from all those winter potholes. I’d love to buy stock in the company that makes this stuff if it actually works and is an economically viable product.
Flexible Concrete That Can Repair Itself
“Researchers at the University of Michigan have created a concrete material that can heal itself when it cracks, paving the way for safer roads and bridges that are less likely to crumble from earthquakes and overuse. The self-healing concrete works because it can bend. When it’s strained, man microcracks form instead of one large crack that causes it to fail. A handful of drizzly days would be enough to mend a damaged bridge made of the new substance. The dry material exposed by the cracks reacts with rainwater and carbon dioxice in the air to form “scars” of calcium carbonate, a strong compound found naturally in seashells. The new material looks like regular concrete, but is 500 times more resistant to cracking and 40% lighter in weight. The concrete is studded with specially-coated reinforcing fibers that hold it together. Nanoparticles that comprise about 2% of the mixture’s volume partly account for its performance.”
