Keep the Show on the Road! Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Jim, Fantastic! Hard to believe!! Are you going to take a look in person? Dave Keep the Show on the Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mga707 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Check out the comments to the article. Lots of folks wondering why the road crew plans to cover up the arch when the improvement project is finished. Have to agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilene Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I'm unlikely to find time to make a trip to Richmond before the project is done. My life is simply too busy, unfortunately. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Although I'm only slightly less busy than Jim (I have books to read and batteries to charge), I think I might go take a look today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Show on the Road! Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Denny, Good man! We needed a scout at the ready, and you appeared! But we hate to take you away from those batteries! Dave Keep the Show on the Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Responses in this conversation from about 3:00 PM Monday may seem terse to the point of being rude but the fellow making them was really quite friendly, especially considering that he was troweling mortar as we spoke. ME: Got an old bridge in there? HE: Not a bridge. An old box culvert. It's all covered up. ME: That didn't take long. HE: Longer than we liked. ME: A couple of days? HE: We've been working on this about two months. ME: Oh. Didn't know that. Thanks. He: You're welcome. As I wrote this out, I think I sound like the rude one. I probably should have said sorry as well as thanks. This has been a reminder that reading things on the internet doesn't make them real-time.
