The Weakest Link
Last week was an unusually busy one at work and home. On the home front, I replaced my six-year-old laptop before it could completely die on me, then spent most of my non-work waking time (and some time I should have been sleeping) for the next four days getting all the data transferred, software configured etc. Last night I finally had a chance to take a breather, and today after work I swung by my usual hangout (Fraser River Park) to see what might catch my eye. Not really all that much today, except this collection of chain links and u-bolt. What interested me was that most of the links are new galvanized metal, while the u-bolt has a well established rusty patina. I suppose the question is "did the u-bolt rust more quickly than the chain, or is it just older than the rest of chain and and so has a head start on rusting?"

Just thought I should mention that it isn't a u-bolt, but is, in fact, a shackle...
