Hey, tell him to watch for me. I go right by the site on my usual bike ride. Blue Trek, mirror on eyeglasses, and I stop at the red light.
He used to be a crane operator. Stayed up in the cab all day every day without a break, unless there was a thunderstorm in the area in which case he got the heck outta there. I admit, I would not like a job like that.

BTW, years ago I knew a guy who was a theater manager in London's West End. One night when there were no royals in attendance he let us use their seats, and before the play and during intermission we were allowed to use the private lounge known as "the royal retiring room." Long story short, I used the queen's loo during intermission.
