Digging a Hole

North Providence, Rhode Island
This scene greeted those of us trying to drive down my street today. What they are trying to accomplish remains a mystery, although our postal carrier speculated that they are doing some repairs on the sewer. I find that unlikely, though, since the sewer is on the opposite side of the street from where they are digging. There's a hose with water coming out of it in front of the Chevy on the right, but I can't see the source of that hose. It disappears from view in front of the left-front tire, and I can't tell where it goes from there. "Curiouser, and curiouser," said Alice.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
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. :]
A crawl from the room led to the top of another virgin pit that we didn't have the equipment to descend, but with good airflow coming up from below.
An impromptu clam digging at the Shine Tidelands State Park. We came across a spot where we hit our limit on the little neck and the butter clams in no time. ktula made clam pasta and clam pizza from our harvest. The pasta was top-notch. This was his first attempt on making clam pizza. It was a bit too oily, soggy, and too fishy.

going to get the paper saturday morning - oh, and trying to find our sad old mailbox, which has fallen victim to the township snow plow. again.
From an old slide. A few days of blizzards left huge amounts of drift piled against, through and around the tractors and caravan trains. Here is the start of the process of digging out the tractors from the huge amounts of snow that accumulated every time we had a blizzard - typically twice weekly on our return trip.
Super Bowl Sunday in West Yellowstone starts with the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race, The race is over 350 miles in eight days. It is similar to the Tour de France in that it stops in a different destination at the end of each stage.
The first few feet at the start is when the dogs lunge and strain to get the sled and it's load moving. As the sled begins to move the musher climbs aboard and the dogs strain once more. Then the race rhythm takes over and off they go.
