Darkness came first

Blessed. Empress. Death takes no excuses. Hades. Do you really think I ate the fruit unwillingly. A shade darker.

One of the annoyances with traditional clothing is how large it usually is since I mainly wear it solely for formal occasions but the actual issue is having to go pee when you are wearing long pants to avoid sweating to much and chafing, an under dress and the over dress, thankfully I am not also wearing shape wear and since being confortable is very important to me I avoid wearing the traditional wrap that goes under the usual attire, and I also have a long white shawl to loosely cover my hair and the scarf that goes with the outfit and I expect it to be at least 40 degrees where I am going and I tried to get out of having to go this morning but no dice.

Now if I were to wear the very very formal outfits, it goes with wrapping the scarf in a certain to make a headdress which I absolutely never do, and also the characteristic sound with the fabric having been drenched in indigo then beaten paper thin so it makes paper noises every step you make and you are usually wearing 8 to 10 meters of that fabric.

Anyway I am complaining but it isn’t that bad I just prefer to wear comfortable pants. But this is today’s color.

I work for the road crew in the summer. Crack sealing (the process you see above) is fairly quick and simple. (Though holding a hose that pumps literal tons of 350F tar into the road in the middle of the summer is NOT easy)

I think what a lot of people underestimate is just how much road there is in your city. And just how many directions the crew gets pulled.

For our city of around 50k people there are 8 of us.

Also, crack sealing is a wholly temporary measure, meant to slow the break-up of the roads, it’s not a permanent fix.

Roads tend to get closed for months on end because we have to tear the whole thing up, then, depending on the class of road, we either have to hammer-drill into concrete to lay rebar and the pour concrete, or we can get straight to paving. If it’s a road requiring concrete we’re required to wait at least 24 hours for it to set.

So after 2 days we’re finally able to pave. But the city allocates one (two if we’re lucky) 5 ton truck to transport material.

A relatively short paving job requires at a minimum of 60 tons. So that’s 12 trips to the asphalt factory and back. Each ton is around $80.

TL;DR

There’s a lot of road, not many of us, and soup is expensive.

Leave the soup men alone.

[princessofbadassery]

Leave the soup men alone, and go vote for people who will pay for more soup and more soup people

[sephythespooky]

also be careful in workzones and obey speed signs and other directions. Soup men deserve respect and deserve to go home safe ;o;
