The Streetsweeper Came Already!

I was delighted to hear the dull roar of some heavy equipment in the distance, a rumble which turned itself into the streetsweeper driving past the house.  I hurried to the front door and confirmed my hope.  Yes it's true, much earlier in the month than I had dared hope for, our street has been cleaned of the worst of the grit..

You have no idea what a difference this will make in my life.  The grit is the single biggest problem that I face getting outside over the winter months.  Combined with melting snow it means I can't easily get clean and dry to get into the house, so I can't go out for rides up and down the street.  Needless to say I was out for a ride later this afternoon, my first of the season!
