Dropped A Pebble

I heard a story once about a monk who needed to cross a river. So, every morning, he'd go out and drop a pebble in the river.

After years of this, he could walk across the accumulated pebbles.

Tonight...the first object constructor method for the project.

One pebble.

I can't seem to write test-first in the very beginning, so what I've done in the past is write a very, very small amount of code -- like, a single object specification with a single method -- and then write the tests I would have written for that, and then write some more, and then write code to make those tests pass, etc.

Fingers crossed.

Beware of the current!

You wouldn't want it to carry all your peebles.

It's okay -- to prevent just such a disaster, these pebbles are constructed from a four-wheeled motor vehicle previously owned by an Italian plumber. Water can't sweep away my special Mario Van Peebles, because they're heavier. :D

And how old was he at the time he crossed, 36 million years old?
