Putting gravel bedding in a pipe trench next to a manhole being installed. The hole is 10 feet below the water table and pervious so there's wellpoints every few feet down the sides and 4 inch and 6 inch diesel double diaphragm pumps drawing from the floor of the hole. There's people in the bottom but you can't see the tops of their hardhats because of the depth.

I didn't understand a lot of that, but none the less, that's a nice hole you've got there.
I never owned a VW bus, but one of the vans we had at a radio station I worked at in the early 90s was a Toyota Pigwagon. You remember the mid-engine ones where your legs were certainly in the "this will crumple" area? I hated driving that thing.
Well, that's not true. It was actually surprisingly fun to drive, but even at 17 I was smart enough to be afraid of it.

Axis deer can have some crazy cool antlers. I spot a few in this pic, and I'm pretty sure you're right. The sun is pretty low in that pic and washes out their sides into one big yellow patch, which is an Axis feature.
Theres a set of antlers kinda low in the pic and offset a little left... it's the biggest body deer in the whole pic... is textbook Axis.
A buddy of mine runs a website as a hobby... Departed Wings. About both large and small airlines that existed back in the day. He's got a FB page and wrote a book too... cool if you're into commercial aviation history. https://www.facebook.com/DepartedWings/
SNIP FROM THE FB PAGE TODAY:
It was 30 years ago today…….July 19, 1989.
United Airlines flight 232, was a scheduled passenger flight from Denver, Colorado to Chicago, Illinois continuing on to Philadelphia, on a Douglas DC-10 registered N1819U. About an hour east of Denver at 37,000 feet the number 2 engine (tail-mounted) fan disk failed catastrophically, resulting in debris puncturing the three aircraft hydraulic systems. It was quickly realized that all normal control of the aircraft was lost due to the failed hydraulic systems. Declaring an emergency, the flight crew, commanded by Al Haynes, diverted to Sioux City, Iowa in an attempt to bring the crippled plane down safely. Utilizing a forth crew member, whom was flying as a passenger, the cockpit crew operated differential thrust on the remaining two engines to stabilize and descend the aircraft. After an agonizing 45-minutes, when the plane was on a somewhat erratic but semi-stabilized approach to the airport, the crew attempted a landing in an “impossible” situation. Upon final approach and at the much slower speed then cruise, the DC-10 rolled to the right, its wingtip striking the ground and cart-wheeled across the runway finally coming to land in an adjacent cornfield. Of the 296-passegeres on board the aircraft, 111 perished in the accident. Considering the extreme situation, the loss of life could have been much higher and the four-man cockpit crew was credited with preventing a total disaster. At the time of the accident, Flight 232 was the fifth-deadliest accident involving the Douglas DC-10. Seen fifteen years before that fateful July day in 1989, and holding short of Runway 24 Left at Los Angeles International Airport in December 1974, is N1819U, a Douglas DC-10-10, delivered new to United Airlines in April 1974. **Departed Wings Slide Collection**
