May I help you? Client: No, I want you to do it. Me: Well, what do you want? Client: I want you to drill a well. Me: Okay, I can do that. Where do you want the well drilled? Client: In the ground, where else would you drill? All wells are drilled in the ground. Me: I mean, where is the location you want the well drilled? Client: Out by the barn on the east side. Me: Tell me your address and I will drive over there and you can show me, and then we can talk about this. Client: Okay, my address is . . . So I thanked him and went to see him. He was a really nice older man who was a little hard of hearing. Now back to this month’s article . . . We have been snowed in for days, power lines are down and no electricity in town or our house. It’s very cold - so we just put another blanket on the bed pretending we are camping out. Try not to think of anything unpleasant - just think happy thoughts and enjoy the beauty of it all. A little global warming sure would be nice here and now. My feet are freezing, my hands are freezing. Just be happy. We are getting calls for help, asking if we can get a well running - they don’t have any money, but would really appreciate a little help. So we loaned them a generator, gave them a can of gas, thawed out the frozen pipes, and got them running water, hoping everything goes wells after that. We had our whole drill crew out to clear a road to a house to help a woman and her mother, who uses a wheelchair. It took six people with chain saws, brush cutters, shovels, rakes, and so on to do the rescue job. They had been stranded in the house for days and were happy to get out and go to town - they were very thankful and appreciative. Many people are snowed in, that’s why we are donating our time. I don’t know how many thousands of big trees are down, and more are still falling. [Publisher’s Note: So proud of Harold and his family for paying it forward. More of us should do the same - it will make us all feel better. ] Harold Harold White may be contacted via e-mail to michele@worldwidedrillingresource.com EXB
