There was not a time that I don't watch what he was doing if I could.<BR/><BR/>And at that young age, I remember my heart was filled with thanks and appreciation for what he was doing. <BR/><BR/>When I close my eyes today, I could still "see" the pair of crippled legs, struggling with a "bian-dang" and a pair of "night soil" walking along the small road that led to our toilet.<BR/><BR/>And I am still thankful to him for giving us a "decent" place to answer our nature's calls during those days!<BR/><BR/>CY, thanks so much for the memories.Yanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469410555556500811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-88762550727899040482008-06-10T08:20:00.000+08:002008-06-10T08:20:00.000+08:00very interesting. it's always a wonder how the was...very interesting. it's always a wonder how the waste disposal system worked before the sewage system ever came in.<BR/><BR/>i wonder wht people would ever do without their handy septic tanks.Kai Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095952168729024825noreply@blogger.com
