THE ROAD TO 7TH AND MONTANA ...!

                             

They say the Road to 7th and Montana is Paved with Good Intentions, but today it was just being paved, period, as a work crew arrived on the scene to apply a coat of slurry.  Sections of Montana and Palisades Avenues were closed to traffic all day while work progressed under the guidance of a Suspiciously Camera-Shy Road Worker.  "Put that camera away, no pictures of me, no pictures of me ... Leave me out of your pictures!," screamed the worker-in-question, while his colleagues tried to figure out what was making him so nervous.  "Not to worry," I muttered under my breath, "I'm not taking any pictures ... I'm simply calling Homeland Security to say 'hello' ...!"
