In every civilization, someone has to put up the signs that guide us
on our way. --Proverb
Sometimes they had to drill the post holes up on Rocky Bluff--and it
was a tough dig, what with the rocks and the hardness of the soil.
They came home plenty tired and dirty on those days. Other times
they drilled the holes down in Sandy Meadow, where the augur slipped
in smoothly, quickly, and easily. They all praised the meadow and
said how great it was to get an assignment to put up some signs
there. And yet, when they told the stories of their lives--the
stories that animated their faces and brightened their eyes--they
always seemed to be speaking of Rocky Bluff.
