No veo lo que estás viendo, Roadhand. Qué es? (I don't see what you're seeing. What is it?)

That's a firm-titty, I do have a visual on a blue barrel. Is the skull & crossbones on the barrel the "red-flag"?

The blue barrel may be the least of it. For example, at 31°42'53", 106°31'24" There is this open excavation, no cribbing, no traffic control, nothing.

I don't have that image on my Google Earth. Just tres ninos and a blue barrel. I see what you mean.

Sad, indeed, compared to our social mores and rules. The children's mother might only be sixteen or seventeen...and if the children are lucky..she's at work!

BTW - I had a buddy that ran a machine shop in Snyder, Tx. for a while. Trying to keep up with his competition he contracted with a foundry in Mexico for some non-critical castings. Everything went well for a while, until he discovered the foundry was using spent radioactive scrap (dumped by someone in the U.S.) for their smelt. Everybody involved that was North of the Rio Grande wound up getting slapped with some big-ass fines. I don't think dangerous materials are controlled too well down there.....

There was a project let in February that ties on to ours out here. We took a run at it, but we really aren't that competitive on rip and read jobs; design build is our niche. A Mexican company was the low bidder and awarded the project, they started in April, closed ramps and lanes, got the traveling public in a good mess, then did this : http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_28304259/contractor-suddenly-stops-work-i-10-expansion-west
