I read a book when I was a kid about how to play all sorts of games with marbles. Most of them involved drawing lines in dirt, even carving troughs or holes which the marbles would physically encounter. Well, I didn't have dirt, I never played the games, I felt disconnected from that ability to change my environment...
I had blocks and things like that. But I never had dirt. I'd love to dig up that book and dig up some dirt and play some marbles games.
