Men at Work

We've been hearing a lot about the improving economy. Most people I talk to haven't seen much of a pick up. Until today that is. This sign showed up on my usual walking path. It's handsome don't you think?

I was glad to see it. Mostly because the path needs work. It's not good to trip over loose asphalt while getting your daily exercise. At least the folks making the sign got some work. Ever suspicious, I wanted to see more than an expensive metal sign.

Just around the corner, I found an actual man at work. Here he is.

Here are a couple more. It wasn't until the car passed that I could catch them in action.

Ah, two guys watching one guy work. At lease one of them has a shovel. I guess it's better than three guys staring in a hole. I do wonder what we're paying the guy with his hands in his pockets to do. Must not be too hard. He doesn't get to wear a fancy hat.

I'm not complaining. As someone way smarter than me once said: "They also serve who only stand and wait." John Milton
