Monday: Daniel ponders

I am siting at a table in M3 gazing out on the rolling mountain country and sipping tea whilst a gentle mountain breeze stirs the curtains into a languorous dance. Meanwhile, I am being hand fed goldfish, it's okay to be jealous. We have earned it though! We spent the day dodging lightning bolts and sliding down mud hills. It seems there is less mud and more rocks though, making our ditch digging quite the chore. Apparently, most of this property was formerly a strip mine and when they finished with the valuable material, the rocks were tossed back in...that is, right back into the path our irrigation pipe was taking. Hence, most of my teams day consisted of digging 4 ft.2 rocks out in order to make a 4 in. deep trench. The other team mostly sat around, but they got dirty somehow anyway. Well, I am off to pet some puppies, or maybe have a snack before dinner.
