Not sure what R0ndo's wild-eyed look is for: probably Eric is directing the digging and R0ndo's not exactly sure what Eric wants. My funny dog!
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 !

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. :]
Photos of people eating are not usually flattering, yet here I am doing that pre-bite. Mainly it's to showcase that chef Michael Bonacini has better chopstick holding skills than I. (Hey, I can pick up my food but I don't hold my chopsticks in the traditional and proper way.)
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.

A city-owned front end loader showed up early this morning to dig out our street. It a much better response than we had for the December storm.
A random snapshot of a few pieces of large and medium sized heavy machinery and equipment that is being used to dig out the center left-turning lanes within the center of Brookway Boulevard (MS 558) and replace it with a grassy median that divides the eastbound and westbound travel lanes in Brookhaven, Mississippi. (March 7, 2025)
They are basically extending the grassy median from I-55 over to a little bit past the Taco Bell and Walmart traffic lights. I don't really know if they are going to extend the grassy median beyond the Walmart and Taco Bell lights but the Boulevard is extra-wide out in front of Walmart towards I-55. The reason why this section of the road is extra wide was because there was originally a grassy median there before it was replaced by wide left-turn center lanes. It would be quite crazy if the more busier western half of Brookway Boulevard between I-55 and US 51 had a grassy median with a few turn around spots like its less busier eastern half with light poles within it.
While this project is underway and they are digging out the old left-turn lanes for the new grassy median, the left lanes in each direction will also be closed off to traffic, essentially turning the Boulevard into a very busy and heavily congested divided "two-lane" highway as most of the traffic from both Brookhaven and Lincoln County is concentrated onto that stretch of road to gain access to many of the big chain restaurants and Walmart.
When they get rid of that long, divided left-turning lane here at the intersection of Brookway Boulevard and Magee Drive as they will have it moved closer to the main eastbound lanes while replacing the old one with a new grassy median to divide the travel lanes, they will have to move or replace the traffic light signals here as there would be no need for the extra added signals here.
I don't really know if this is true but there's also the possibility of both the City and State's plans to install two roundabouts over at where the on and off ramps at I-55 to make it "easier" for traffic to get on and off of the interstate highway. The main problem with that is that most people around here can barely drive in a straight line on a nice sunny day much less knowing how to drive through a basic roundabout. I'm more surprised that the city didn't make that interchange into four-way stops as this small city is "addicted" to them being everywhere.
