- He who keeps the home fires burning may be musing: People struggle to get oil out of the ground; other people struggle to get it back in again. Pfft on the old rat race. Or is he having a much shorter thought? Probably the tank isn’t yet empty, for that usually happens at night; so he has ample time to shovel all over the yard. Fuel pipes on cellar walls are easier to find, but home owners plant pretty shrubbery in front of them, not necessarily things with thorns, but stuff like juniper which is obnoxious enough to grope around in. George Hughes’ crosshatch should see the bright side of things: the sky is blue, the air tonic, he has healthy outdoor work; and if he whistles merrily, the canary (there in the hot, stuffy house) may gladden his heart with lovely song.
