My playground is gone

It's been so hot outside that I never utilized the 18 piles of dirt as a cardiovascular playground like I intended. Scuttlebutt has it that workers are out there as I type this spreading the dirt that will be the foundation's foundation. Incidentally, that work supposedly happened on Friday. At least that's what the subcontractor told our contractor. Well, I guess that's the way things work in this industry. But, I am starting to have a better respect for the work that contractors do - coordinating schedules, making sure the job is done properly, making sure people show up to do their jobs. If I didn't already have a full time job, it isn't something I would mind doing. Check back soon for pictures.

Oh also, I have been reading up on some of the damage done to the lower Yucatan in Mexico. A lot of homes and people's lives have been devastated but not much ado is being made of it in the media (in my opinion because the people affected have not responded with widespread rioting and looting like some others that shall remain nameless - just quietly trying to put their lives back together). If anyone is feeling generous or just wants a good read of an account by a Texan living close to where Hurricane Dean made landfall look here It's a very interesting and well written tale complete with pictures.
