About 8:30 this morning, I was sitting at my desk at home, working on something for work1. I heard this noise outside, and assumed that it was a delivery truck or something stopped at a neighbor’s house. After 10 to 15 minutes, I decided to go look and see what was making all the noise, since it hadn’t gone away…
Apparently they decided to start paving our road2, so there were two Bobcat-like vehicles tearing up the sides of the road.
So until about 11:30 today, I had a backhoe parked at the end of my driveway, unable to actually go in to work (oh dear!). Try that one next time you’re late for work…
