Er, well, hand harvesting. That's what's going on in the vineyard parcel just beyond the row of parked cars. I didn't get closer because I didn't want to get Tasha interested. She usually doesn't go beyond the end of our dirt road and cars go fast on the paved roads beyond.
I could see the pickers emptying shoulder-borne buckets into the truck, second vehicle from the right. They're not obvious in the photo. Sorry.
The whole Morocco earthquake situation is tragic and scary. We went through the San Francisco Bay Area's Loma Prieta quake back in 1989, and while it was scary, too, only 63 deaths were reported. This morning they're saying that at least 2,000 people lost their lives in Morocco. So far.
I can't stop reading and looking at maps related to the quakes in Morocco. Devastating. I don't know how people recover from something so awful. The loss of life is staggering.
ReplyDeleteMan, Mitch, you said it.
ReplyDeletewell said for all of us.
ReplyDeleteWe are overdue for a huge (close to 10.0) earthquake here in the PNW. Morocco's quake just reinforces how much our area needs to do to be prepared. Much of our planet is terribly unprepared for a crisis like Morocco.
