[AT] Chore day with the Super M

[Dean Vinson]

The land here (west central Ohio) isn't nearly as rocky as Steve describes,
but I assume those rocks I hauled from the edge of the field were glacial
deposits like Steve had mentioned.  Lots of different types of rock in
there, and I kept a few interestingly-colored or -shaped ones out for my
wife's use around the flowerbeds.    The pile I was cleaning up was mostly
accumulated by someone else in years past, but I'd added six or eight on my
own after noticing them near the edges of the soybean field.  They evidently
work their way to the surface now and then, probably expedited by planting
or harvesting in the field.

And Cecil, I was reflecting on my age after loading (and unloading) that
wagon... :)

Then you wouldn't even believe where I live, Charlie.  I have never in my
life dug a single posthole without removing multiple stones from softball to
football size.  Take a walk in the woods anywhere around here and you tend
to see more rocks and stones than you see soil.  You literally can't give
them away because everybody has them.  The only stone that is sold around
here (aside from crushed stone and riprap) has been split and processed into
flattish and squarish shapes for stone wall construction.
The stuff you find naturally is roundish like Dean's and won't stack into a
wall.  Glacial deposits.

SO
PS "around here" means southern New England
