Well, the BIG GUY, the earth mover, shows up in the backyard today? Let's face it. Sitting in the lotus position in front of THIS MONSTER isn't going to have much of an impact. He'd just make mulch of me.
But you know what does have an impact? A CAMERA. I put my monster lens on the minute I hear the roar? I head out to the fence line pretending to be the journalist from hell. I know what I'm doing. I must be a journalist. Everybody in this neighborhood should be at work right now. ( I've done a lot of construction stories in my day. I've been escorted off much bigger construction sites than this one. They're more aware of what you're doing than you'd think. And they really don't like "BAD PRESS." In fact they really don't like PRESS at all..at least not until it's done and they can have a ribbon cutting.)
Well I have witnesses to this. On the BIG GUY'S initial scrape (taking off the top layer of ground) for the four lane road? He does a quick turn around RIGHT at our property line, and heads back the other way. Hey, I don't know. Maybe that's his plan. But it sure is odd.
Since I have a birdseye view of this whole operation I'm going to bore you with a semi regular log of "THE DEVELOPMENT." I'll try to keep it short.
When they shut down for the day? I go up and step off the distance from the center line of the road to our property line? 103 feet unless my feet have shrunk. I'm pretty sure they told us it would be 150 feet. Think I'll check into that.
I just want to keep them HONEST. Honest!
But it's kind of ego boosting to think I might be annoying them a bit at my age.
