Background: The past couple days, there have been some workmen digging holes around every manhole cover and other thingamajigs in the street, making the street into a fairly exciting obstacle course. Yesterday (or was it the day before?) they put up little 8.5"x11" sheets of paper with "no parking" printed on them. Frankly, not many people paid attention.
This morning I heard a loud noise outside. Peering out the window, I saw workmen, a pavement-eater, a bunch of other road construction equipment, and *three* cop cars with lights flashing. Plus a tow truck, taking care of all the parked cars. Now, the tow truck and the construction equipment I understand... they've obviously decided that my road needs repaving (although it's in better condition than several other streets in this town... but we all know that logic has nothing to do with road construction), but what's up with the *three* cop cars? Yeah, I can understand having maybe one, in case people make a fuss when their car is towed, but *three*? And they all had their lights flashing, and a bunch of the cops were out discussing stuff. The last time there were that many cop cars around is when I had to call the cops on my neighbour's abusive boyfriend. (NAB only caused problems when he got drunk, and his anger management classes seem to have helped... he hasn't caused trouble in quite a while.)
Update: photos from this morning:
