On the Way to Work
Since we moved in to our apartment, there’s been this incredibly large hole in the street, about a half a block away from us. Oftentimes, when we’re driving and looking for a parking spot… we’ll end up having to slowly drive past this thing, and it’s daunting. Cars are parked on the street, and there’s not a lot of room between the other cars and this gaping abyss. If you slipped a tire in, it would seriously and irreparably damage your car.
A few days ago, I saw a dump truck positioned near this hole. As we walked by, I could tell they were going to start working on it… and so I grabbed my camera. Here’s what I picked up:
I thought this was pretty funny, as I imagined the truck was unloading just one thing (I had imagined a ton of gravel). But it ended up dumping a smaller amount of materials, and it all seemed to mix together.
Here’s a shot of the hole. It wasn’t until a bit later that I realized that the hole was part of a larger, sewer upgrade project.
Yesterday, on the way to work… I noticed that they patched the area up. And I also noticed that Bill Cosby, opportunistic guy that he is, had shown up first to tag the fresh cement.
That’s hilarious. He must have stopped by on his way back from his visit to Oberlin today.
