I saw a documentary about a poor mountain family in the Ozarks who struck oil by shooting the ground. Apparently, prior to the oil strike the gentleman could barely keep his family fed, but subsequent to the strike they enjoyed significant wealth and moved to California. They did bring many of their mountain customs with them.

Ahhh, the good old days. When people with wealth elsewhere wanted to move to California. Now they just want to get out asap.
 
Mornin all

Good luck Bob, we had an old buried oil tank on our property we removed, they were all over that.
Thanks. Who knows what is around and under that 109 year old building. We removed a gas tank back in the 80’s and had that tested. It passed. There was a tank out front 70 years ago, but that was removed 50 years ago.
 
Good morning. Back home in the Keys. Vacation much needed for Donna. She’s been busting her ass off with work on some new project and implementing it. “India” subcontractors are the worst.
 
There was a guy named Welles Crowther who could have gotten out of the South Tower. He had his secretary call his mom and tell her he was ok. But then he started helping people find their way out, wearing a red bandana over his mouth against the smoke. 18 people have credited "the man with the red bandana" with leading them to an exit or helping them get out. He found groups of people and guided them to stairwells. He had that bandana since he was a kid. People asked him what it was about. He said one day he would change the world with that bandana. He saved many people, but he never got out. They found his body in March 2002.
President Trump awarded Welles Crowther posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom. "Hero" is overused these days. But not when it comes to 9/11. Welles was 24 years old. He would be 49 now. His whole life was in front of him.
