The last time I drove east on 75th, I had to pass
through a slow area managed by flaggers, which can mean only one thing: heavy
equipment nearby! Sure enough, numerous machines were digging around and doing
who knows what. I waited until the following weekend and then went back,
knowing that the machines would probably be quiet then. I found this beauty (top
of post) resting on a side street, along with several more.
It rained for a couple of days, but on the next dry day, I
went back for more. Apparently the project didn’t take long, and most of the
machines had already moved on. But I managed to catch a twin brother (below) of
the first one. They are identical except the one below has a smaller shovel on the
end opposite from the large yellow shovel; the first one I sketched had some
kind of flat-bottomed instrument instead.
As I was sketching, a woman in a car drove up slowly and
finally stopped in front of me. “Are you drawing that machine. . .??” she
asked, incredulous.
“Umm, yes. . . yes, I am.”
She broke out in a smile. “I saw you the other day. . . you
were sketching the other one that was over there!”
Yes, that would be me, too.
