Amante de Sol

"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."........................................................... ~Hunter S.

Buried Fiber Fail

I walked up to the bus stop this morning and was treated to this lovely view.
This crevice was quite deep too, although you can't really tell by this photo.

This corner piece is very soft as well; there's even an imprint of a woman's dress shoe(click to enlarge) that has significantly sunk as she boarded a bus perhaps? I bet she was happy in her high heels. I didn't stand there, but on the cement sidewalk edge, and the bus pulled up as if I as standing in that dirt area, so I had to maneuver over the patch to get onto the bus step. I was thinking thoughts about the driver's lack of concern for those waiting, but then figured, maybe they can't tell from their seat that it's that soft there.
So I told her, and she thanked me, as she had heard similar stories from others along the route.
Seems as though there wasn't quite enough soil packed back into the trenches dug for the fiber lines laid last month.
All the rain has caused the areas along the fiber path to crack and sink like these two areas. I noticed several more on my ride too.

Time to call that contractor back.
