A few weeks ago, a water main broke in front of
Jesse and Ben's home in Eagan. The street was
torn up to fix the pipe and then temporarily
patched over til spring work. This past Friday
the work crew returned to fix the road and
lay new asphalt. The boys were transfixed
as workmen worked these big pieces of
equipment and as I watched it occurred
to me that I would have no idea how to
make these repairs. These guys managed
these big machines like chefs in a kitchen with
kitchen tools. It also occurred to me that
there are a whole host of things I know
absolutely nothing about. I can't operate
heavy equipment or even figure out how to
rebuild a road, how electricity works, how
to change a flat, fix a toilet or about a
million other things. So, I have newfound
respect for all the people that do. The
world needs these people and I'm grateful
for their work. By the way,
the new road looks great....not a hint of
the work that was done.
