Kiwi On The Loose

Its been a good day, a day of kids playing on the road @ the intersection, avoiding the brown UPS truck. Up the street the water works guys are  diggin’ up the road and cutting off the water. Its a huge hole and a typical scene globally. Two guys doing the work and the rest standing around watching & eating in this case.Nice guys tho, all dressed in orange. Between the relief of knowing that your water alone hadn’t been cut off for some reason, and their relief that you hadn’t come to see them to be some kind of ‘moaning urbanite’, there was humanity. Happy people.Kindness and smiles cost you nothing do they? The one and a half hours without water will be an excuse to sample more white wine with ice cubes.Its been a good Wednesday in America. I can feel the happiness on the street, the novelty of the road being closed, gated by orange cones to match the workers ‘can you see me vests’.The sounds of happy kids continue and I better go check the pork on the grill.There’s peace today in my world.
