RE: "SOME THINGS THAT ARE OLD"..("MICLEE"S 21st CENTURY")

Yup. I remember the 1st transistor radio.
Quite similar to that one, except it was red.

Still remember the brand -- Magnavox®

My dad got a larger one so he could listen to Minnesota Twins Games while working outside.

Dad's passed.
The radio's still going. Son asked to have it & uses it same as his Grandpa.

One of the pupils was assigned the task of going around filling the wells.

NOT the task to be assigned to the Class Klutz For obvious reasons

Did you ever read the book, "Little House In The Big Woods"?
It Sounds like you're channeling Laura Ingalls Wilder.

BTW, Y'all --
Laura was born in Wisconsin -- same as orz -- and her Big Woods book is set there.

If I didn't Know that orz was born before Laura died, I'd almost suspect reincarnation!

Covid Economic Effect -- Crude Oil Worth LESS Than Worthless.

Another way of looking at it ...

If one had a barrel of oil that one didn't want, would one have Give away the oil AND throw in a few rolls of TP to get someone to TAKE the Free Oil
