Here is one of those clean streets. All the dirt washed away, but now you can see the scars left behind by the sewer replacement project. Since they rarely leave those metal plates for long, we are hopeful that the street will soon be repaved.
Along with the general washing-down, there are some drawbacks. Like 5-months-worth of pollen and dirt from our trees ending up on the hood of my car, which was clean yesterday.
I headed down to the docks this morning to talk with a friend. The road shoulders and bike lane were already pretty dry.
And it was absolutely calm and beautiful on the water.
Nice, eh?
I would have taken more pictures but my phone locked up just after snapping this shot of a BOAT ON THE STREET (right in front is a No Parking sign). Judging from the debris under the tires, it's been there more than one day.
