Call before you dig - or don't if you're a thrill seeker!
Ummm....hello? April is national safe digging month. Didn't anyone get the memo? Of course, I only know this because I got a little too confident with a bobcat once upon a time on my father in law's farm. Let's just say the hissing sound we heard after I began digging was anything but a snake. That was the day they took the keys from me and relegated me with shovel duty. I have never lived it down. Thankfully, I didn't blow us all up - though my wife said it was highly suspicious that I snagged the gas line just as her mom was walking around the same side of the house where I was operating.
