Summary:
"Rick Ranson ventures to one of Canada's most talked-about locations: Fort McMurray, home of the oilsands. He recounts a twenty-four day shift at an oilsands operation undergoing a shutdown, giving us a glimpse at a world most of us only know from the evening news. Along the way, he encounters a group of engaging roughnecks, including a husband and wife welding crew, a petty fascist safety inspector, and the tough-as-nails secretary that keeps them all in line. Rick Ranson has worked variously as a longshoreman, drill ship's welder, boilermaker, farm equipment salesman, editor for McGraw Hill, and forklift operator. Bittersweet
Sands
is his third book"--Provided by publisher.
