We now have a Moroccan "roach coach" come by our site every day. This kid pushes his cart about 2 miles to get here at 6:30 in the morning.
We heard an explosion and looked behind us to see them blasting at the quarry on the hill behind the Jihadist school.
We couldn't use the troweling machine and we had to hand trowel the finish.
