Contemplating life in general, Don Pfister takes a break from digging dinosaur bones.

One never knows what may fly by. Don and Bob are checking the skies for birds, planes and the ever-changing weather patterns.

One of the most important regimens at the digsite is to keep well hydrated. Temperatures can reach over 100 degrees and dehydration is very serious.

General Patton made sure everyone was using the proper digging techniques as well as keeping hydrated and taking enough breaks to keep focus level high.
