Today, Memorial Day, a day of remembrance and relaxation. Since there is no activity on the excavation site, it’s a good time to look at the equipment being used there. (For the reader not too familiar with blog reading: click on the photo and it will enlarge somewhat. You do have to take some of this on faith! Click on the arrow in the upper left to get back to the blog.) In the photo you see four excavators, three bull dozers, two dump trucks, the scraper on the other side of the trucks, the compactor, and the disc-harrow. Another excavator is beyond the gym so not in this photo. A total of 13 machines--one can think only with horror of the cost of diesel fuel needed to keep these big boys moving. It’s interesting that at the end of most days the workmen (and occasionally a woman) park their vehicles on the upper level, most facing west, as you see in the photo. In veneration to the god of the setting sun that brings an end to the day’s toil? Perhaps.
