The warrior knows
the cost of battle and gives all to
the very end. We've all seen the
battle waged years on
end. We've all witnessed the sheer
peril and impending
doom but the warrior spirit lives
on. Its power gives us
reason to give as her spirit so
freely gave.
THE ONION'S OPEN ARMS SEVERED
Last night a
few brave hearted diggers decided to
embrace that old girl "Onion".
She welcomed the visit
and gave gifts... the best of
which was a three and three
quarter inch "Wells" point with
horizontal chipping, a
medial ridge down both sides and
heavy basal grinding.
This farewell party lasted until
one forty- five a.m.
on thursday the tenth of february,
two thousand. The hole
was left in the customary way
(very clean) even hoping
some one else might also bid a
fare the well. Excitedly
I entered thursday afternoon hoping
that once more
lady luck would be on my side
and that she would openly
receive me, but to my woe her
arms were severed (hole
dozed again just where the three
new holes were) and the
chance to find her ever again
with the same charm is
fleeting forever. To salute her
I will want to display
my last digging spurt(two and
one-half months).I had
been pursuing other treasures
and late last year took
up residence once more with the
'good news' of your
finds. She knew the time was near
and wished to give her
time earned friends some great
lasting memories.
