You too Dan!!!!  I wonder why we didn't meet digging those holes to China.

I must have been about 6 or 7 when I started digging a hole, I guess most
country kids dig a hole at some time or other, makes me think we are really
evolved from dogs not monkeys.  Anyway, I had this hole started when this
rather shiftless fella my Dad had befriended showed up one day and asked me
if I was digging a hole to China.  I didn't know from nuttin' 'bout no
China but figgered if was as good a goal as any.  Funny thing though, I
must have dug that hole all of 3 ft. deep by the time we moved from that
house when I was 10 yo, and I never did find China.  Ruth

PS:  The shiftless fella who always had a "get rich quick" scheme if only
he had the money to get it started, that's where Dad came in, to supply the
money, finally married later in life to a woman who had some money and
people said he was miserable.

PS2:  Funny thing, Dad never had the money either, neither of them got rich
quick.
