Done on a rainy day of which there
were few last summer when they were getting the footings set for the
new bridge on 23rd Street in Lawrence. The date on the
bottom says 7/12/12. We had very little rain in the spring and even
less as the drought worsened over the Mid-west. But this day I sat in
the truck a few minutes with the window cracked and the drizzle
trying to spatter my paper. Wanted to get some remembrance of what
it was like when they had the bridge torn out. They were setting
re-bar boxes for the pillars of the bridge. Why they had the boom up
in the rain I am not sure... Nor am I sure why it took such a fancy
bridge (or a bridge at all!) but it looks pretty good now that it is
done. Maybe now it also needs another drawing?
