“I wonder who remembers what a pitchfork is, or who has used one?”
Still a pretty common tool around here. I change bedding for the dogs and cats all the time with one.

Yikes! How big are your cats and dogs?
A friend stuck a pitchfork in the lawn and tweaked the handle. The vibrations brought worms to the surface. Then a quick, short hike down to the Columbia River to use them. Squaw fish, and some smaller specie. His mom liked them planted in the rose garden, and his cats enjoyed them too.
One day, working with my kids in the garden, they expressed amazement at my ‘skill’ with the various tools (hoe, shovel, pitchfork). It was learned through much practice on my Dads apple ranch. I don’t know how much they meant the complement; it may have been schmoozing the old man (they weren’t using the tools).
