Thanksgiving in Little Rock

It's Thanksgiving! I am sitting at the breakfast table with a few early risers here at the Water 2 house in Little Rock. We drove here last night to spend turkey day with one of the other teams from our unit that we haven't seen in a couple weeks. I expect this will be a good time, but possibly a little hectic.

It's been a long time since I have written. I don't even know what I need to catch up on. I guess all there is to do is talk about the project. We leave our trailers at 6:30 every morning and drive about a half hour on the bumpiest road imaginable to get to our worksite. Then, we get to work cutting down trees, pulling up stumps and boulders, and picking and raking the ground into a two-foot wide hiking trail. For the most part, it's a lot of fun, when it's not killing my back. We bury our tools at around 2:00 and arrive back home at about 3:00, then most people pass out until dinner.

Pros and Cons of the project:

Pros:
-Jim, our project sponser, is awesome. He looks like an older, more adorable George Bush. He fought in Vietnam, survived a plane crash, and listens to Kanye West.
-Our team, for the most part, is getting along with eachother very well.
-We have toilets. (One team got stuck camping and has to poop in bags.)

Cons:
-Our trailer does not have a very big water heater, which means that the showers are cold more often than not.
-Our dining table is in the garage and fits about half of the team.
-I have to wake up at 5:30 A.M.
-Cell phone service is not good enough to actually have a vocal conversation with anybody.
-While working, we have to wear bright orange vests to avoid being shot at by hunters. (The vests aren't really a con, I just wanted to throw it in to further divulge to you exactly what kind of town we are living in.)
-Anything worth going to, like the grocery store, laundromat, movie theater, etc. is in the next town over, which is 45 mintues away.

Well, that's all I can think of to talk about right now. I'm sure there's more, but I don't really feel like writing any longer.
Also, I know that many people on my team have taken post-worthy pictures, but until they unpload them onto Facebook or something, I have no way of getting them. But I will do my best to get them soon. I know I haven't put any up here in a while.

Happy Turkey Day!
