Remedial Sandbox Training

I used to think that the people who serviced telephone and electrical lines were rather hardy souls who didn't mind hard work, venturing out in inclement conditions, and getting a little dirty when the occasion called for it. Either some tenderfoot officials have crept into the system or else someone on the road commissioner's staff could use a little extra work.


The ditch here is not unusually deep or wide here, and I think that an average person in decent shape should be able to hop across with little trouble. Even if the ditch is a little difficult to hop here, it's even smaller a few yards up the road. Still, this culvert has been installed recently to provide access from the road.




Never mind that this culvert is as tall as it wide, or that there's probably a field access culvert within easy walking distance. The great thing about this is the way it was installed. According to a reliable source this was put in using a backhoe!


Time to go back to the sandbox for a little remedial training.
