Yesterday I put my Anthropology degree to use, digging a hole in the back yard in which to put a clothes line post secured by a whole lot of cement and crushed rock. Along the way I thought of various concepts like stratigraphy and carbon dating, gently digging with gentle tools, brushing the dust away with dust brushing brushes, electronic distance meters metering and mapping artifact location and carefully sifting all the dirt for anything I missed along the way all the while keeping accurate detailed notes.
But real world things kept getting in the way like sunburn, dehydration and beer depletion and and and 29 gave me a ride to Lowe’s because riding a bike home with an 80# bag of cement sucks ass.
Oh and one more thing I’d like ya’ll to keep in mind is… that same top-10 liberal arts college is still cranking out bachelors degrees but now they cost twice as much…so I got that going for me.
Out came the sun and dried up all the laundry and none of it will be reflected on the next electric bill.
well, I thought you were playing tourist in Portland. You did get a bargain at that fine school--learning how to dig carefully. I am going to read again what the hole is to do. My screen was all blank--or was that the hole. Hard to be sure, for sure. Sure!
