It!s not that I disagree with you at all, because you were right in stating the job was done so poorly. Perhaps complaining to higher ups might also yield some results. As for the workers, perhaps they not be the highest paid or smartest folks, but also not right for any of us to judge and I for one would not want to have their jobs. And, hit days tend to make everyone hotter under the collars.Beatrice P.

I would really go nuts. I remember visiting relatives in Whittier when I was young and seeing a palm tree for the first time..I was facinated by it! Ok, I'm playing bad guy here. I'm thinking that the guys on the crew were told to do what they did from a "higer up"...and they don't get paid much to think...just do. Plus, I imagine the heat was bad for them too. So, I would cut them some slack and tell the city counselors or Mayor or the supervisor of the road crews what the problem is..maybe it won't happen again. I hope you're feeling better by now and I hope this problem is solved! You are much to nice a lady to make your blood pressure rise up so high!

Or even LIKE you, so far away.<br /><br />Baw. What a sticky, frustrating situation. I had a deja vu to something I hadn't thought of in YEARS---our little country-town streets when the very FIRST black-top was laid down, and how that deep black scent rolled out through the neighborhood, and it was truly some kind of tarry stuff put down RIGHT ONTO OUR GRAVEL ROAD. I do believe that the several ladies who got "trapped" in their yards because the trucks went all the way around at once just MIGHT have topped your own "blessing out" of the workers with such lack of foresight.<br /><br />I So hope you're cooler, in body, mind and spirit, and can enjoy the rest of your weekend.<br /><br />love and,<br /><br />rachel <br /><br />PS I'm trying to imagine you with your temper up, or even raising your voice.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-75769695803968352062013-08-17T09:19:02.914-07:002013-08-17T09:19:02.914-07:00Good for you MONA!!!!

It's always the easy way for them.<br />I thought that our hot weather was gone, but NO here it is again. I have COPD so when it gets hot I can't get my breath and have to stay in doors. So I tend to get a little cranky also. Get a cold glass if tea and relax on your lovely patio.<br />Be Happy and have a great rest of the weekend.<br />MaryMary@mydogsmygardenandmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265174897498950754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-73195283557425194042013-08-17T08:19:21.120-07:002013-08-17T08:19:21.120-07:00Most of the men on street crews are not necessaril...Most of the men on street crews are not necessarily hired for their smarts.

Town Workers, City Workers are the stupidest people in the world. I personally think 90% of them took a "DUMB CLASS", get paid excellant pay, leaning on shovels, etc, while one olde guy actually works or digs a hole. Most of them do not know what they are doing, especially the sweepers - could you even begin to imagine how they would sweep at home????? - now, if you put a woman in charge of sweeping, don't you think it might be different, neat, clean, really swept? + the heat of the day sparked that Irish side of you, Eh, Mona dear.

Maybe Wendy the Good Witch flew over your street and fixed it while you were sleeping? No? Oh-sorry to have gotten your hopes up.
