Mud Work



        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?
