  4. I count eleven men standing around like it's some kind of social club. Dock their pay!

    2. Probably told them to stand still so the photo wouldn't be blurry (except for the smoke, which they couldn't make stand still).

  6. Saw a dissamebled Marion Steam Shovel recently. On a semi, hopefully going to the rebuild shop and not the big furnace in the sky.
