The day belongs to the shovel- to pound rocks into cement, dig trenches.
Portions of tortillas and beans are good with jalapenos.
Americanas guzzle more water than cows and do not know how to steer wheel barrels!
They leave their water bottles on the bench, like so much trash
I uncap each bottle and capture each drop
in American water there is no metallic taste
I am very happy.
