Unexpected privy...UNDER BUILDING! - 1/22/2012 11:14:24 PM    JOETHECROW Posts: 9807 Joined: 9/3/2005 From: Northwestern Pa. (Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: offline I was running a couple of last minute errands downtown,...Whoa! There's Penn Digger's van and a lit up fogged over storefront! U TURN! "Hey Tom,...whatcha doin?"...   "Well, just had an hour or so to dig....I was just thinking about calling you, but everyone couldn't come this late"....Might as well join me since your here!... Cool, Thanks Tom. I had just snapped some pics of downtown lights that looked cool aginst the snow before I ran into Tom...

That hole with the big rock poking out was where Tom felt there might have been a wood lined privy at one time,...He was right! He had been digging in the rear of the building where the floor was also being replaced, I had been digging up from the privy hole a ways,where the blue bottle came out last Tuesday. The place was a muddy mess.

Tom, (who's really into local druggists), hit one out of the ballpark with this one!...A previously unknow to us variant from here, with a picture of an OIL DERRICK! I'll try to find a clearer pic, the camera wasn't focusing to well because the lens assy. had mud in it.

Hey Joe and Mayor Tom, I wish I had y'all's ability to find these phenomenal enclosed digging venues, especially of a snowy winter's eve. Heat, light, and bottles galore! Please tell me there's onsite food service or some other pleasant amenities unknown to the rest of us. I wave my idling spade in your direction, and hope to some day, have it so good... I'm really looking forward to seeing this derricked druggist all cleaned up, along with his mates.
