The Week of July 29, 2019 — Excavating, Forming, a Helicopter, and the Pits
With the exception of a MERCY AIR ambulance, we will begin this week, which will slide into August on Thursday, where we left off last week. As previously mentioned, I am a sucker for any and all helicopters — those air ambulances — that come in for a landing either on the north helipad or the south helipad above the Children’s Hospital. Today, July 29, 2019, was no exception. I happened to be in the right place at the right time. A MERCY AIR ambulance came in for a landing on the south helipad. The featured photo for this week will be an image of that helicopter. The featured image of the helicopter is apropos as I was able to capture it along with the heavy equipment involved with shoring the “fire water” pit.
