Pioneer Days
Yesterday morning, a water main broke across the street. A very large hole ensued. The preschooler of the house found this much more interesting than I -- it's not every day he gets to see a real live excavator up close.
As of midnight, when the giant thunderstorm knocked out our power, the water still wasn't back on. Much consternation on the part of the preschooler ensued.
But, all is back to normal this morning, other than the fact that the song from the classic I Dig Dirt video production is now permanently stuck in my head. In the spirit of cooperation and collaboration (and of being just punchy enough from lack of sleep) I now share it with you. Everyone, sing along to the tune of Frere Jacques:
"I dig dirt,
I dig dirt,
Yes I do,
Yes I do!
Scoop it with a shovel,
Dump it in a pile,
Dig up more.
Dig up more!"
