We received a post card from Sawyer County that it was time to clean out our septic tank. If you don't know what a septic tank is, you can skip this blog entry. Looking through the phone book for someone to handle this task, we saw some interesting choices:
- Scott's "I take crap from everyone."
- Fragrant Septic
- Lynn's Honeywagon
- Yesterday's Meals on Wheels
Instead of choosing, we called a neighbor who recommended Fragrant. His truck had a picture of a skunk smelling a flower. Suggestions to us: switch from Tide and use single-ply. On the upside, he said we had a good-looking drain field. If I had a nickel every time I heard that, I would be a rich woman.
Another lesson learned about people in rural areas. They are not on time. They are early. They get up and get going. I remember that fact from growing up on a farm. I greeted Fragrant at 8:20 for the 9:00 am appointment. Someone who shall remain nameless was still in his pj's. He is used to starting his day at 10 am. He will learn to become Northwoods or learn to dress quickly.
