My next job - not ! (actually about that danged road)

The latest estimate from CalTrans (the road maintenance folks in California) is that Devil's Slide (one of two routes out of the coast) will not be repaired and re-opened until October. It's gonna be a quiet, long summer here on this stretch of coast.

Meanwhile, the CalTrans guys are supposedly working 24 hrs/day to fix the road. Don't know if they are working around the clock, but they are certainly working in an exciting location. Here's the next job that I don't want (click on the picture for a bigger image):



















These guys are standing on a metal rack that is suspended from a giant crane up on the (unstable) roadway and hanging over the edge of the cliff 400 feet above the ocean. And operating heavy drilling equipment as they drive metal rods into the cliff face.

Right. That's the job I want!
