Future oil tycoon. Probably drilling his own well because he didn't like it when gasoline hit $0.26/gallon.

Back when I was a kid I was doing exactly that, Running a full gravel and sand pit in the front yard with all my trucks and tractors.
We lived on 10 acres so plenty of room to dig.
Well wouldn't you know I picked the exact wrong spot to dig and hit the phone line.
Cut that sucker clean in half.
Amazing what Tonka toys could do!

Yeah, now remember that they can also do that to fingers!

My "Tonka" toys were various sizes and shapes of wooden block, but that did not diminish my fun because I did not know any different. There was no phone line to cut because there was no phone at my home place until I was over 30 years old. My parents were in their 60's before they finally got a phone.

Similar here:
We had a kerosene refrigerator (same principle as gas refrigerator), an outhouse (COLD!), and did not get electricity until I was 7.

We got electricity when I was 6. Before that is was the "Iceman" that came every few days. Even so, my Mother cooked breakfast for us every morning and lunch was usually some of the breakfast in a couple of biscuits. I don't remember ever being hungry. I grew up never having a bicycle. There were 7 in my first grade class, and 5 in the grade higher.
