                                    July 25, I had a second house in Holy Lake:
                                    
 
 I also discovered the offer to people who dug out the water level of Noobville: first picks
                                    at a plot of land there once it was finished. I had an almost irrational urge to contribute to the project and, of course,
                                    earn my plot. So I dug. And dug. And dug. As the stuff gradually was mined, the site offered some spectacular views:
                                    
                                  
 
 
 I
                                    dug through to the 26th, and went sightseeing as a way of taking a break. I stumbled upon the ice rink [The builder
                                    ends up being Yagi, whom I met later]:
                                    
                                  
 
                                    The above are decent progression shots of the digging in the Water Level of Noobville. Of course, I made
                                    some indispensible friends in this dig: Charlotte, Maiden, Raven, Spei, Yagi… and many others who passed in and out
                                    of my attention span while digging rectangles.Digging was a blast and I would do it again for the same reasons: building a community,
                                    working on a common project with others, and earning a plot of land upon which to express my inner creativity that life, the
                                    universe, and everything has tried over the years to crush.
