The Car

Yesterday I learned a lot about soil.  First I had to toil for soil in the morning by getting soil samples from our school garden.  My colleague's white shoes were ruined by the wet grass, but I reminded her that when we toil for soil, sacrifices are made.

Later, the IU biology crew came and showed us all about the components of soil:  gravel, sand, silt and clay.  Throw in some peat and some air.  You've got soil.

Toiling for soil could possibly be my dream job.  You're outside, scooping soil with a plastic cup into a jar.  That's basically all there is to it.

On another note, Have you ever listened to the lyrics of Streets of Laredo?  That song can really bring you down.
