I talked to my brother Bob on the way home from Hoffman last night. He is doing well and has been working long hours with his job. He works along with our uncle Sheldon for PSI, Inc. which is a drilling company based out of Dallas, TX. He just returned from a job in "The Valley." The Valley is the deep south of Texas...(Brownsville/Harlingen/McAllen, etc).
Bob drove the big drilling rig from Dallas to the Texas/Mexico border. He said that it took him 12 hours to drive down there, which is almost the same amount of time it would take to drive from MN to Dallas and yet he never even left the state of Texas.
He started working in the valley for a couple of hours and then the rear transmission went out on the rig. He said that it was a $7,000 problem on the rig. His company flew him back up to Dallas and had him drive their other rig back down south. Their company is building the new wall between the U.S. and Mexico border. Bob spoke with the border patrol and they mentioned that this wall will not stop people from getting through, but it will slow them down a bit.
There have been roughly 60 border tunnels found in the last decade, the existence of which literally undermines the logic of a fence.
He really does have some interesting stories. I keep telling him he should have a camera along with him for all of the things that he sees. He could write a book!
