Oh the painful memories.
I dug my grand hole in the back yard when I was about 8 but it was
across the line and on the next door neighbors property. No one was
pleased when they got home that evening.

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.
