D.O.P.-T.

[weofodthignen]

The men continue to work on the water mains, blocking the sidewalks by day with hoses, pipes, and holes with the top thirds of men protruding from them, as well as the battered and in some cases broken sawhorses with instructions not to park on the street till late February - some of which are marked with the names of cities in a different county - and leaving their toys strewn up and down the street at night and on weekends. (Excavator buckets. If it were a little warmer I'd plant pansies in one. Trashcans. More pipe. The actual excavators, on the most trafficked street with poorest visibility.) The housemate had a pre-work appointment and then the cleaners came. So since I see heavy machinery rolling up and down the street outside my window, I think the dogs will have to settle for ball-playing instead of walkies.
