THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 15/50 )

She is still runnin a bit last week.

There's no back for got some juice.

Like the... the crickets teasing me.

Couple of months earlier, I had built a scale model depicting the hydrology of our valley.

You could see the various water tables, drainage trenchs, soil compositions and sweepage capacity.

Dad! You wanna give it a look?

See... If you dig from here to there, the water will be channeled to there.thereby increasing the flow of water, those thereby stagnating and evaporating.'Cause the laws of fluid mechanics, make it unstoppable.

You asked me I was just pissing the can.Open your eyes, you'll see that.
