at the playground

erector set
tinkertoys
what drought?
fun at the playground

The boys have been busy at the jobsite, the iron workers erecting steel, the crane lifting trusses, real grown-up jobs that these guys probably used to pretend to do as little boys with their toys - erector sets, tinkertoys, pickup sticks, Lincoln logs.

Buddy brings home more than job pictures every night, clinging to his boots is a souvenir of Georgia red clay.

Hard work spotlights the character in people
Some turn up their sleeves
Some turn up their noses
And some don't turn up at all
