"Unless you have clay that you can make pottery from, "

Esshup, funny you say that. There used to be a pottery company just five miles north of me that was in business since sometime before I was born and there is an ACME brick plant about 5 miles SW of me.

We curse our clay pan soils when it comes time to plant crops and the water has to either run off or evapoarate off the top when it has rained too much. Leave a "dip" in a terrace channel and we have an unintended "pond" that lasts till the water evaporates.

Guess I never thought of it before as a blessing when it comes time to build a pond.

Edit: Also forgot Dickey Clay, the clay tile business that has been there for probably a hundred years that is 5 miles from me.
