Explosive Questions.

Post by vidman »

We have been going thru major Sewer, Water and Gas Line installations on our street since last summer. Many of the properties sit on ledge. Thus, dynamiting has been the norm since October. Yesterday, while walking on the street, the owner of the Explosive company stopped me and asked what I have been doing with the scopes since January. I explained to him and gave him 4 pairs of glasses for his children along with CBSAP handouts and some NASA handouts. I told him many of the workers have stopped by and looked thru the scopes and he could tell his workers they are welcome. We will see how it goes.

UPDATE: I took my walk yesterday and talked with the Boom Boom boss. I asked how his kids liked the glasses. All his guys stopped and came over. They said they stole the glasses from him. I had to bring 18 more pairs to the crew for all their children.

I am impressed how our Solar Majesty has such appeal to the macho members of our society. I happen to have Neo's pic "SV-311-11-1211-58-09.jpg" on my iPhone as it is a favorite image. They were blown away by the size of that particular "explosion".

BTW Neo...your images ROCK! and full credit was given to you.
