5. not just any dirt... we had LOAM!!!
even our poor relations (with whom we associated very little) had clay. I don't believe we ever knew anyone who had only rocks. Obviously, you were lazy.

2. I remember when dirt was medicine...
"rub some mud in it" was my HS football coach's remedy for anything short of compound fractures.

7. I remember when dirt was introduced
It was herald as a miracle substance. A little dirt, a little water and anyone could grow food. The Re-pugs fought it tooth and nail.
