Meeting in the Middle


Yesterday morning I took Charlie out for a walk and was surprised to see of a variety of work vehicles lined up along the street. They were different colors with different logos, so it seemed unlikely that they were there a single home repair job. I counted 14 vehicles, mostly pickup trucks, and there could’ve been more parked around the corner.

There was a meeting going on in the middle of the street. I assume most of these people are contractors. A man was addressing them, probably someone from the town public works department.


Then they walked down the street looking at the curb inlets for the storm drains. I don’t know whether the town is soliciting bids for repairs or whether they’re going to gather a crowd to try to tackle all these jobs at one time.

It would’ve been more fun if this had been a flash mob, and music had started, and all these people would’ve danced!  For now, I’m calling this a “tour de sewer.”
