Thank God for her improvment. I Can't claim I spent alot of time praying, but I did say a little one when I read about it.
I heard "bar ditch" all my life growing up and didn't know it was "borrow ditch" until I went to work for the Highway Dep't. for a while. Dirt road technological terminology, meaning the grader "borrows" material from the ditch to contour the road.
