Winter and construction

I was told many moons ago that there are 2 seasons in Ottawa ... winter and construction. The Addis version of that is the rainy season and construction. During the few months when there is no rain here, they go out of their way to fix what they can on the roads, and they do need some serious attention. A lot of the dips in the sidewalks for the entrance ways to driveways have been filled in with sloping depressions to the bottom where they meet the road, For ferenge that is HUGE. We did Chinese food at a new place near Dr. Paul's tonight and it was good. I then cabbed it back to Deker for my nightly dose of Tony and Carm. They have a habit of diffing large holes in the streets and walkways here and I finally figured out what the holes are for ... it's so they have enough dirt to put back in the hole they just dug :)
