I don't know what battle I would have been fighting. Maybe I would have been shut in the tunnel for protesting the bombing of Cambodia, as if I understood that when I was in elementary school.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-49863532528566822012013-03-01T09:39:32.689-05:002013-03-01T09:39:32.689-05:00Wow, that's a pretty vivid memory to have.

The road was dug up and these huge (to me back then) pipes were laid down. But on the weekend and after 5 o'clock in the evening, the workers were gone. No bracing on the dirt walls, but who cared. We got to play in the pipes. But did't go to far in them because we didn't have a light and we couldn't ask mom for one because she would have had a shit-fit if she had known.<br />Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944074653548750642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-79479189281821729922013-02-27T15:56:33.619-05:002013-02-27T15:56:33.619-05:00How awful, I would have hated that.
