Jack Hammer Walz

They started jackhammering one day before the heavy rains, July 28,  
had to quit within an hour because the rains had started


After the road dries, with a few execptions, the Jack Hammer walz begins shortly before 9 am.  Last a few hours each day. The rest of the day the quiet crew does the digging and plumbing.

They are laying a three inch water main for new construction.
Its mostly dirt road from here on.  Think this two week walz is at an end. NOT . They are now digging a similar trench on the other side of the street.

They were keeping an eye on me

  Three black dots on saffron yellow cotton worn as an armband was devised in Germany during WWII, to identify blind civilians.
It is still somewhat in use today.
Such identification limits the wearer from any liability caused by an accident. 


I decided to use the symbol to show my extreme displeasure with the football referee.





I has asked for a translation of the word 'Blind'
The translation I received "Eye Blind"
