Construction
I've been woken up in the morning by construction near my house. I don't mind that much, I get plenty of sleep as it is, and I'm glad that things are still getting rebuilt around here. What scares me, is what these guy are doing. They are standing on this overhang, bashing away at it with hammers and a pick axe. It makes me think of taking a tree down by climbing to the top and swinging back and forth until the base snaps.
As I watched they kicked the rubble off the side, the rubble of the structure which is keeping them from falling to the ground at 9.8 m/s*2. I'm sure they know what they're doing, I've never worked on an overhang, so how would I know how to do it properly? Still, it seemed like a small leap of the imagination to see their support crumbling to the ground with them on top of it.

In your next post you need to tell us if those guys fell! I have really enjoyed your posts. The visuals are great -- that old town with the arched bridge, and castle especially, but your observations on what happens day to day are good too. How much english are you hearing, or how do you sort out these events? I am printing out everything and sending it to your grandmother in Sarnia. She's quite interested. We have a great new colour printer here, so she is seeing all the pictures as well. Thinking of you! love ant les
