We had to put like 30 inches down into the ground. That took three days to do all 60 holes. And it's blasting day. My dad took off work.

The only reason I know he took off work is that my two younger siblings were at school and my youngest sister was home with the chicken pox. We start in the far, far back part of our property, two acres. So pretty far. We put one scoop in. One scoop was about the size of a paint can, a small quart. My brother lights it. We all run. And there is a kaboom, like a howitzer cannon kaboom.

So it was a little bit anticlimactic and no earth moved at all. Okay. It just shot straight out of it like a cannon. So dad being a Mr. Scientist, he treated it like a science experiment. We changed one thing. So some of the things we tried was stuffing it with a blanket to make it push out like a firecracker. We tried chicken wire in a blanket. We tried a big, huge boulder.

We're up to three scoops in the hole. My mom calls my brother and my sister and I that were home from college. We had to leave for an eye doctor appointment. We take off. Uh-oh. At the last second, she makes my little sister with the chicken pox come with us. She didn't want to leave dad experimenting with dynamite with a sick little girl inside. So he's doing it all by himself.

We come home, country roads, everybody has a couple acres, and we're at our neighbor's house, and there are dirt clods everywhere.
