In the 1880's, Col. Drake hit oil (awl, to you Aggies) in Pennsy at 79 feet.

You've exceeded the good Colonel's record by 79 feet.

And I'll bet you weren't even shootin' at some food, when up from the ground came a bubblin' crude (awl, that is).

Live near Coal Oil Point, do you?

I wouldn't plan a move to Beverly Hills in the near future.

"You've exceeded the good Colonel's record by 79 feet."

Seeping oil is no recent phenominun. Back in the late 1800's oil threatened water holes in Oklahoma and Texas where cattlemen watered their herds.
