Hmm. I thought it was just scraping tiles off a roof. I'll have to
look at it again.


It was. They were terra-cotta roof tiles, which have the color and
somewhat the consistency of bricks, so it would be easy to confuse
the two.

Interesting, I'll have to look at it again sometime. But to the pilot, I
suspect that it would be a distinction without a meaningful difference.
