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.
