83 - Burying cars.
[email protected]
We do this every day. We load up another old car
onto this flatbed truck we got, which is like a
mini school bus welded to the front of a flatbed
truck chassis, all riding on huge off-road tires
all around. It's actually a totally rad
rig. Anyways, a gang of us get in and take the car
somewhere out into the wilderness. Then, we set
to work with shovels, digging a big deep hole and
drop the car down into it. Then, whoever's turn
it is this time, gets into that car with these
three special bottles of water and one for
drinking. Then, we recite a whole pile of stuff
to bless the water and the earth and ourselves and
whatever. I'm still trying to memorize it all,
but I can mumble along for now. Then, we feed a
silicone tube into the car for air, close the
doors, and we bury them alive in that car. Then a
whole bunch more recited texts. And then we leave!
For three days they'll stay in there, fasting and
praying and gradually pouring the water from the
three bottles through a whole we put in the floor
of the car. And when the three days is up, we come
back and dig them out. We leave a little blue box
and key in the car, and another bottle of water,
bury the car again, and we leave.
A job's a job I guess. What I am getting is that
all this is somehow repairing the ruined aquifers
and poisoned water tables. I don't really
understand how any of this burying business helps
with that at all, or that our water was even a
problem. But I have a lot to learn still, like I
say I haven't even memorized all the texts
yet. And our leader is completely committed to all
this, and he's a very smart man, I should know, I
met him one time. All this is a huge amount of
work, and it's not like we're going against
anybody, or harming anything. I'm no hydrologist
or whatever, and I'm not so capable of researching
everything myself, so I just got to have faith
that all these smart and hard-working people in
this cult or whatever it is, are doing something
to help. And I can too.
