The noises of summer...birds, children laughing, pulveriszers and graders. The city has decided that the roads on our area need to be repaved (and they really do!) so they started their work today. First the pulverizer comes by and tears up the old asphalt and grinds it up to a dirt-like consistency, the note in our mailbox said: "You may notice some noise, vibration and dust." Do you THINK????

Then the grader rolls by and smooths it out and and then, theoretically, the asphalt people come and repave it with lovely, new, smooth asphalt.

Part One and Part Two are complete, so now we just wait for the pavers. Sadly, I think that they pour oil on it first to seal it, which means icky stuff on tires and feet. Steven will never have icky stuff on his tires, so I hope they do it on my days off...otherwise I'll have to walk ot take a taxi to work. (He takes such good care of his tires that he still have the original ones that came with his 1981 Landcruiser!) Nary an icky mark upon them...
