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.”
I see I'm not the only one with imagination and a sense of humor. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope that errant odours from the tour de sewer did not diminish the pleasure of the moment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun thing if they had danced...one of those dances where everyone lines up and does the same steps...can't remember what they are called. Have to wear cowboy boots!
ReplyDeleteHehe, YES, a flash mob would have been really funny! But you're probably right in your assumption that the city is getting quotes for repairs or even gathering a larger group of tradespeople to speed up the work...

...you should have started to sing!
ReplyDeleteIt looks strange! Take care, enjoy your day and weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey waited until they were through with the sewer tour and then they danced for joy.
