Title: Re: for something completely different
Post by Knute1 on Nov 21st, 2019 at 11:44am
In my research of Krag info I found an article from the early 1900's during the Industrial Revolution. The author of this article stated "machines will become more like a man and man will become more like a machine" (maybe not quite word of word, going by memory). Wonder what he would think of the world today when it would be very difficult for most of us to get by without electricity and combustion engines.
I dug a ditch 19" deep by 135 feet long for a new electrical service to my old farmhouse using a mattock this Fall. Everybody I know think I'm nuts. But I am overweight, 60 years old and don't go to a gym. I did it for the exercise. A trencher could have done it in 2 hours. Back in 1900 this would have not been an issue with anybody.
