I always wanted a hole big enough to camp out in. I don't know why. It just seems like a good idea. Maybe it comes from spending a lot of time in caves in the midwest while growing up.

As such, this guy amuses me at the same time his story has inspired me-- not for the first time-- to dig a hole in my yard.

I don't think I'll be playing with firearms in my hole, though. I'm betting that doing so would put me firmly in the "bad neighbor" category.

Maybe so, maybe not.... when I was 8, I had friends that liked to dig holes with me. At 34, I'm thinking that may no longer be the case. Then again....
