Among the litany of foolish things I have done in life, digging this well in sandy soil in my early 20's is right up there. It was miraculous the walls didn't cave in. -
Also, while I was hunched over digging, my friend accidentally dropped a full bucket of wet sand he was lifting out. Somehow it whizzed right past my head, ripping my watch off my arm before burying itself into the ground with a thud. You can see how little space there was, and how bizarre it is that the bucket missed crippling or killing me. -
Live and learn. I had to learn to sacrifice a bit of speed/productivity for saftey, which was a lesson learned through years of trial and error.
In one week I put my life's varied lessons into practice once again on #AloneonHistory
