Hill Update

I know you've been wondering about the fate of my beloved Hill. I am sorry for being so long in giving an update.

Essentially after National Rent-A-Fence erected the small metal box/office and put up a metal fence around 73% of the perimeter of the hill (what good does a fence that doesn't connect do?) - oh, 2 months ago? - nothing has happened until today. Some flowers are growing on the hill, the well worn path cutting diagonally up the hill is starting to grow in, and they've, at random times, had a itty, bitty truck with a scooper thingy attached (Bob the Builder kids, what is that thing called? My mind is a blank.) I mean, itty bitty. It's kind of cute. The hill isn't you know, ginormous, but it's not itty bitty. So it'd come out for about 2 hours, dig up itty bitty trenches along the side of the hill that runs along the edge of the bridge, and then leave.

But today, oh TODAY, big things are happening. This morning a woman with an orange T-shirt and neon yellow vest walked around the sad fence and posted 2 signs every other segment... okay, so first, imagine the backdrop - an empty hill, an abandoned metal box/office thing, the 15 year old sign announcing the new building, a bunch of trash strewn about, and the incomplete fence. Close your eyes, visualize it. Got it? Add some screeching crows and dying grass. Now imagine the signs... one says "DANGER: HARD HAT AREA" and the other says "DANGER: KEEP OUT". Remember the Sesame Street thing - "one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong..." I mean, what is there to be endangered by?

So, she hung that stuff and left. It's been a big day on the hill.
