Hi there Gar,
Wow, interesting bit this is. All these workers, the storm...I'm afraid
I'm at a loss as to where these fellows are working, a boat, a building?
I've read this over several times and there's no doubt about it, to my
ear, (and eye) it reminds me of something from Alice in Wonderland! lol I
particularly love the alliteration in: The contractor scampered for
safety,
his tailored suit splattered with salt spray. Way to go!
Thanks for the read Gar. Hope you're enjoying your holidays.
Good Cheer & Be Well, Mary :O)
