like an intruder in his home . it was almost a year before i found out , but then of course i did something about it . the earlier noises were gone , stopped at some point while he dug . after finishing his bellow , the lanky man bent over and sniffed at the ground . he put the glove back on and opened the can . it was a little difficult to see through the cracked and wayward windshield but that only increased the excitement for me .
