I spent Saturday afternoon after work roaming around the snow covered roads above Meltham. The snow was blasting in with short sharp showers and it was around minus four. An icicle formed on the Armarok mirror (which is heated) and I drove around with it for three days. The light was changing constantly with bursts of sun then total white out. Late afternoon saw it turn much worse and the so called Beast from the East had another bite. We had more snow and severe drifting overnight with traffic chaos. I spent the following morning in the JCB 411 ploughing and digging out then heade back to Wessenden Head on Sunday afternoon but that's another story.
Phoenix has been performing a series of practice digs in preparation for scooping up the actual samples that the robotic arm will deliver to the laboratories on the lander. This little excavation has dug up a white layer that could be salt or ice. Anyone want to take bets? Earlier in the week, the arm looked under the lander and discovered that the landing thrusters had uncovered a hard, bright layer that could also be ice. We should know for sure about the composition of the soil in the coming days as the samples are analyzed.

Was on holiday in the Dominican Republic and was away snapping some photos of the water when my girlfriend noticed this little guy digging in the sand. What a great oppertunity !

Bumped into these photos after digging through my old hard drive.

Here are Andrew, Courtney and Reg digging the hole in preparation for the hangi. The first pit was where we burned the pallets and railroad irons (to get them white hot) before transferring the irons into the second hole. This enabled us to save valuable time transferring the irons between holes. The veggies, meat, burlap and sheets doused in water were all put in the second hole after the irons.
Today we were digging a trench for the fence we're putting in for the Kingdom Hall. We worked from 9am-2pm. It was hot, the ground was incredibly hard, and we had faulty tools that kept breaking. We loved it.
First we put down a string and broke through with the tools, then we moved the string and did the same on the otherside. After that, we started removing the grass from on top. After the grass was off, we softened the soil by digging into it and breaking up the clumps. The dirt was mixed with clay and rocks, so a few of the tools broke and bent. It was actually extremely hard work in the incredibly hot sun. Good news, the clouds rolled in after we were all done. Figures. :]
Note that Mr. Cheeks is the only child who refused to even take off his shoes; he actually insisted on being carried, off the beach, most of the time.
This youngster was taking his turn digging a latrine. A barrio in Managua, Nicaragua. July 1984.

He actually found a live pipi (a mollusc). For once there was a reason for all that digging.
