Dear Sodpoodle,
I am 76, in one column you have captured my whole life’s learnings. Impressive!
In return I’d like to offer this; in Lincolnshire, England, in the South Wolds the is a very remote spot called Sod’s Hole. Contemplate that for a while. I still haven’t figured it out but it is a true place.
A sodpoodle is, of course, a prairie dog;)
In England, the term ‘sod’ is similar to ‘SOB’ or ‘**s-hole’
