Road construction

Progress is something we have to accept when you live in a bit city. People like to call it an inconvenience…road construction. I do not like to refer to it as that so much as…progress. See if you refer to it as a more positive thing, it is not so bad in the end. In the case of the Grand Parkway, I like to keep my eye on the positives because it is a big project with a lot of inconveniences and we have to drive through it on a near daily basis. It makes my car dirty EVERY DAY! I am not talking about a little dirty, it looks like it has been driven off-road dirty.

Today, Kyle and I were sitting and watching the work crews in their heavy equipment. Often we joke about it. What else is there to do when you are sitting at the same stop light multiple times over?

Take for example this guy, what is his purpose? He was just rolling back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Obviously, his job was to roll and smooth stuff out, but it was the repeat motion – back and forth, back and forth, back and forth – the entire time we sat through the light…multiple times. He did appear to move from the same strip.

Clearly every piece of equipment is important and every work guy is important.

I hope they start to make more progress in this intersection soon because it is getting old watching them dig a really deep hole in the ground and not seeing anything else be done.
