Cypress Cement Swamp

There is a shortage of cement in Florida which is akin to being at a loss to produce crushed ice in Alaska. The Peninsula of Florida is made of a combination of limestone and clay, the same ingredients you need to make cement on your stovetop. The stovetop, by the by, is where Portland Cement was invented.

The shortage of cement is contributing to the continuing shortage of hair on top of Kent Buescher and the rest of the guys and gals at Wild Adventures who were trying to open Cypress Gardens by July.

The link takes you to news from Florida that Cypress Gardens is in worse shape than previously thought and that the opening has been delayed until October. Further delays are caused by the international shortage of cement and the regionalized shortage in Florida.

Time for a visit to the grocery store for a bag of stovetop cement although I am told that two week old Hamburger Helper is also pretty sturdy.
