I'm sick of hearing about your band

[sovay]

We have just received notice in the mail that the concrete sidewalks of our street are going to spend the next week being replaced, thus explaining the sudden proliferation of no-parking flyers and the ear-juddering industrial noise around the corner to which I woke this afternoon. Adjacent streets will also be involved in this mishegos. After last year, I do not know if I can trust the official time estimate. I know the jokes about construction season, but I need to sleep ever again in my life.

Has there been a single solitary week when they *haven't* been doing construction on your street in the last couple of years?? Fingers crossed it's over quickly and with minimal disruption!

Thank you. Our sidewalks don't even look like a problem to me! It's our streets that are full of potholes!

Wow, someone in the road construction business must have reeeeallly juicy blackmail information on someone in Somerville government, and the government person must be paying them off with lucrative projects SOLELY ON YOUR STREET.

CAN'T THEY GRAFT SOMEWHERE WITH FEWER INSOMNIACS.

NOOOOOOOOO! Someone should rent a jackhammer and just take it around to all the Somerville City Council, or whatever you have, members' addresses and use it at whatever hours some kind of undercover operation finds out that they sleep.

It's legal leaf blower season. On their heads be it.

[pameladean]

Oh, elegant! Much easier to operate than a jackhammer, and quite sufficiently maddening. P.

Well, we could catch that museum?

...eeesh.

[sovay]

Well, we could catch that museum?

Would they let me sleep there? It worked in the Mixed-Up Files.

[selkie]

They do that at the AMNH! But lodging wouldn’t be the problem. *hugs*

[sovay]

I am pretty sure it is bullshit.

Oh no!! *hugs*

You know, is there a problem with wizards running the local council, or not running the local council?

At this point I'm willing to try the wizards!

There is a video game called Tactical Breach Wizards (presently up for a Hugo), which contains an enemy boss called Steve Clark, Traffic Warlock. His pointy hat is a traffic cone, his robes are safety orange, and his staff is tipped with a traffic light. He is apparently one of the most aggravating fights in the game and has inspired a pretty significant fandom.

Possibly Somerville should hire him, or something.

He's got my vote.

This is very far beyond too much.
