Veteran's Day and an Etiquette Question

Updates and then some
I stole this from uncle bob... it's a really cool story and thought I'd pass it along...and this comes from someone who hates sports...
We took some time off to work on the fence yesterday... and well, as per usual for us, the project has grown by leaps and bounds. It appears that the area we are attempting to fence in is something close to 35 feet wide by 69 feet long. That's about double the amount of posts we thought we'd need. We rented the power auger and got down to business. We got all but one of the terminal posts in and only three of the line posts. We had a problem with the far corner line post... we used the power auger but when we got down close to where we needed, the auger wouldn't advance, and since it had no reverse switch, we had to manhandle it out of the ground. What we found when we pulled the auger up made us both rather scared... in the hole was.... water. Not rushing water, and we're pretty confident we didn't breach the septic tank or anything. What we figure happened (based on the evidence and the conjecture of two people who don't have a clue) is that we have a layer of topsoil, then a nice thick layer of clay. In between these two layers is a nice fairly wide pocket of....WATER.It's about 4-5 inches below the surface and can't sink into the ground because of the nice clay bed. This would also explain why the ground there is always so soft.. the water can't seep into the ground past the clay. What about the fence you ask.... good question...I'll answer that as soon as we come up with something. We have 9 more line posts to go and one (or two) more terminal posts. This weekend promises more rain... so it looks like we're going to have to rent an auger again (next weekend) to get the last of them done. We had hoped to have all of the posts in before the weekend; but I just don't think it's going to be possible. We tried our best, and it kicked our butts.
So here's another plea for help.. if anyone out there reads this and has next Saturday (not TOMORROW) available and can see their way clearly to come and help us with the fence, we'd be grateful. We have minimal crash space, but we have food, drink and our thanks to offer.
