Everyday Systems

Reinhard, have you ever read the children's novel Holes, by Louis Sachar? It's about a boy who is sent to a juvenile detention center, "Camp Green Lake" in Texas, which is a dry lake bed. The boys are to dig 5-foot-deep, 5-foot-diameter hole daily. It made me think of Shovelglove.

Hi Sara,

I haven't read it -- but it rings a bell. My wife is a middle school teacher, and I think I've seen it lying around at some point. I'll see if I can track it down at home or at the library.

Reinhard

a fantastic book and a great correlation.
