How to use pit in a sentence?
It would literally darken the sky, i remember one day, I was standing back about 300 feet. I could still see the flames rising above the pit.
They [service members] come home many of the fittest and best-trained warriors in the world, never the same. Headaches, numbness, dizziness, a cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin, one of those soldiers was my son, Maj. Beau Biden. I don't know for sure if the burn pit that he lived near, that his hooch [barracks] was there in Iraq, and before that Kosovo, is the cause of his brain cancer and the disease of so many other troops. But I am committed to find out everything we can.
There's lot of expertise and a lot of history that is going to be lost, a lot of understanding of why the market is doing something, i think open-outcry died because as electronics came in the people who were afraid of them didn't embrace them. And pit traders just got swept away like a tsunami.
It's the Board of Trade's way of handling the lack of a pit.
Finding stuff, even with a map in India, is tough, i usually ask drivers to ask locals because my Hindi is terrible. Then, you drive around in circles, sometimes for days, but eventually you'll find a stepwell. Sometimes it's unbelievably fantastic, sometimes you end up getting dropped off at a pit, with water in it.
