The sight and sound of reality



This used to be a lawn in front of out block of flats. Then the heavy machinery came to fix something that didn't need fixing and now part of the walkway is all dug up, the lawn ruined, the roaring and pounding the usual morning sounds. How pleasant!

The blackbird doesn't seem to mind, though...

Is that known as job security? Do things that aren't necessary? Stupid if you ask me but you see it all over all the time :)

Yes around my house they keep looking for excuses to dig up the road. If they can find a way to make life miserable, they do lol

It's universal. In Hawaii Amoeba worked for months to get the lawn perfect, and then a water pipe broke. The landlord dug up the yard and tore out the sidewalk looking for the leak -- which he finally located in the crawl space under the house. They fixed the leak and left the huge hole in the lawn and chunks of sidewalk laying in the yard.

The machine looks like a bird pecking the ground.
