Peace O' Sand

Two news blurbs caught my achtung.

1. Digging Holes in the Sand Can Be Deadly
Yeah it's early to be preaching summer, even OBX, safety, but this report is from the New England Journal of Medicine. Here's whatcha need to know:

  • Sand collapses occur in ordinary holes that people dig -- some only a few feet deep -- and in tunnels that collapse.

  • In some cases, people fall into existing holes and the sand collapses around them.

  • Sand collapses occur most often at beaches, but they can happen at other places like lakes or even backyards.

2. Building for Peace/Permanent Headquarters Project
The building site for the Whirled Peas HQ is gonna be located at the northwest corner of the National Mall at the intersection of Constitution Avenue and 23rd Street NW, the site faces the Lincoln Memorial and is adjacent to the Korean War and Vietnam Veterans memorials.

This site does not, I repeat, does not affect field space.
