Busy Morning

Although there was very little idle time to think about taking pictures this morning, I still managed to snap a dozen pictures on the fly... only one of which didn't come out blurry...

This is looking into Harrington Corner from the bottom of Pleasant Street.

I had been waiting through one green light, while the cars in front of me had to wait for jaywalkers, and so I missed that light. While waiting through the red light again, I took out the cellphone, put it into camera mode, and waited to see if we'd get snookered by jaywalkers again, hoping to get a picture of the situation down there. It's a daily problem, trying to go with a green light without some dickhead(s) blundering out in front of you.

I guess the only way to do it would be to get my little pocket video cam going whenever I'm going through either that intersection, or the one at Chandler and Main...

Yesterday, on the way home from work, I took this picture:

Those are metal plates covering the new derivation tunnel at Grafton and Franklin, where spelunkers have been working for a month. During colonial times, there were gold mines all over this area, and I'm beginning to believe that the city, in its eternal quest for revenue, unearthed some material indicating that one used to exist somewhere down there... Maybe they found the map in amongst all the other goodies in David Rushford's hidey-hole.

Whatever they're digging for down there, though, the metal plates were off this morning, and so I've avoided that intersection like the plague.
