Man, I am so glad I was never successful digging to China when I was a kid.
“Man, I am so glad I was never successful digging to China when I was a kid.”
You got that right, my friend. Plus, I was always afraid that some Chinaman wearing a conical straw hat would pop his head out and pull me through to become a slave laborer...scared the bejeesus out of me...
The Chinese fuel the molten, underground, superfurnace with worthless US dollars.
I was one of those kids dumb enough to try it. In Florida sand no less. I dug till I was tired and then realized it was a way bigger task that me and then I gave up. Dad had a great way to punish me for digging up the back yard.... he said no supper till the hole is filled.
I believe that was the first time I found out about blisters, sun burn and sore muscles all on the same day.
Same here - the drill bits from my dad’s brace and bit set were just not long enough. Probably would have melted and I would not be alive to write this today. :)
