Description
Not too long ago (in OBHF years) there were more dirt roads in Catawba County than paved. When I first came here I knew a number of useful shortcuts around the countryside that involved more than a few miles of dirt roads and great plumes of reddish brown dust. My car was almost always covered with a thin patina of dust. I fondly called the dust soil samples. They were a small inconvenience when measured against the high quality of our slower pace of life. In those days many farmers who had a river flowing thru their property owned one or two excavators. They would sell the sand from the river bottoms to use to maintain the county�s dirt roads. I guess this is no longer done. It�s been years since I�ve passed a working excavator along any of our rivers. But, in repose they make the most wonderful planters and don�t they rust out in the a most charming way?
