Never be afraid to do your best work and let the

Never let someone tell you not to try something because it's stupid.

Thanks for the link TD - that's one heck of a mine . Incredible to think how much effort must have been involved in digging that.

Wow ! That's some size.

Wonder how many diamonds they've had out of it.

Trust the Soviets to ruin their part of the planet.They did the same thing with the Aral sea when "Uncle" Joe Stalin wanted to grow cotton there,to irrigate the cotton fields he had the Aral sea drained. Now it`s almost desert.
