Waht a Crap Shoot

Dressed like a chain saw massacre killer type, in garbage bag slipover and knitted wool cap, I am covered in brownish red ironstone stains splashed from my saw job. Four days of sawing these Yowah nut opal concretions in half in the blowing cold wind of Santa Fe, New Mexico at my sons home. My hands froze in the cold water that I use while using the rock saw. Maybe I found a hundred dollars worth of opals? This mining game is not easy and never was. I am almost positive now it is a gambling addiction that keeps me in the game. I do not go to casinos. This outdoor casino in the opal fields of Yowah, Koroit, and Lightning Ridge in Australia is all I can afford. Whew...maybe tomorrow I will open one of the splits and be rewarded with a dazzling crystal opal fiery beauty...To see what I do and why I do it go to my website at www.ParchedEarthOpals.com
