Yesterday while I was waiting for a truck to come and dump a bunch of firewood in front of the house, the water guys showed up, came in, inspected the water pipes at the meter and declared that they would in the near future be replacing said water pipes. In the interests of doing so, they then sliced a nice cut in the asphalt in front of the house, portending things to come.
The things to come done came today, as there is a digger out there massacaring the street, to dig a trench, to put in a new storm drain and to replace the water mains, meaning that we will be in the same shoes as most of the rest of our part of town, which is feeling more and more like a village, replete with dust, mud and DIRT roads.
