I hear ya, James. A few weeks ago, during my daily jog on these same streets, I ended up right smack in the middle of this Googly chaos when I obliviously turned down a street where they were working. I quickly turned to high-tail it outa there when the man holding a stop sign started shouting and waving "come on through, well come on!" He was smiling so exuberantly that I immediately followed his orders! I jogged through a whole block of those ear-drum-bursting pavement pounders without falling into one single hole. As I glanced back over my shoulder, ears ringing, the friendly guy was giving me a thumbs up so I waved back and thought, man, does this guy ever have a great work ethic.

Giving thanks for the physical, a simple act of watering some drooping pansies was restorative. I get you, my friend.
