It Seemed Like an Interesting Career
It's enjoyable, walking around the dam with a camera, Observing the wildlife.
When the weather is right, I may spend 10-12 hours of the day outdoors.
I might walk to the ocean and, follow the river, up to the dam.
Or, start by walking around the reservoir and, finish by walking the length of the river.

Hah. I bet they told him, what to do if, something like that happened.
Just plug it with yer finger, until we get some cement to repair the hole.

I'd come down off that spillway, go find the boss and, let him know something about the job.
What, I would tell him, is something similar, to this:
