I was awakened this morning by the sound some someone apparently chainsawing their way through the street. Not exactly the best alarm call I've ever had. Looking out the front door, I see a utilities truck and a back-hoe not far away. Great, so someone really IS chainsawing their way through the asphalt. Sigh, go back inside.

And, joy and rapture, when they are done, the truck pulls up outside MY FRONT DOOR, and they begin to work again. Kinda loud in my place today...
