I arrived at work at midnight, to find my co-worker beat and miffed... it had been his worst day on the job. I basically just had to do some mopping up (literally) after he had had his ordeal. I filled a mop bucket with the stuff remaining on the floor, then monitored the temperature in the building periodically throughout the rest of the morning. I stuck around for a few extra hours until one of the guys on the day shift came in to assess the ongoing situation. Because it was a Saturday, and the site was closed, he decided to bring his dog, a handsome collie-beagle mix, to work with him, much to the dismay of
While the morning was a major hassle, I am actually glad that I stayed on the property for a couple of extra hours, because I witnessed a tourist from the North Country flying in to take position in a scenic overlook onsite:

It was a nice coda to a not-so-nice day on the job, and it's not even tourist season!

Looks interesting, and I did get a decent raise last week...
Cool!
'Round these parts we see Bald Eagles pretty frequently now, but they were very scarce when I was a kid.
Now though, during lambing season eagles frequent the local fields where sheep are kept and feast on fresh lamb. It's quite a sight to see these giant birds just shredding a cute little lamb with a field of sheep standing there looking on.
