I lost my camera.  I had lost it for a good week or so.  I looked upstairs in the office, I looked on the hot water heater, I looked in the woven bread basket that I sometimes put it, I looked on the side table in the living room, I looked ... Then I though, I'm sure it will turn up somewhere at some time.  Went to Earl's the other night and dug through my purse looking for my wallet and guess what I came up with.  So I took a photo of my 2 friends sitting on the other side of the table from me.  Luckily I have friends who don't mind having a camera pointed at them.  Thanks friends!

I took this photo after our first small snowfall.  I was hoping to get there prior to snow cover but oh well, you'll just have to believe me.  For 4, 5, 6, 7 ??? years, there were road markings at this corner.  They were yellow diagonal lines inside a sort of large yellow semi circle directing you to the right hand side of the road.  There was also a sign that said "keep right".  If you obeyed the road lines and the sign, you would land on a sensor that would quite quickly turn the red light to green.  It worked just dandy.  A couple of weeks ago I drove up to the stop lights at I have done for years and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited ....  There was a truck behind me.  Finally the truck appeared on my driver's side (on those yellow warning lines), the driver got out and began to explain how the City had moved the sensors.  He bent down and pointed to the pavement where one could see sections newly paved so I figured something he said was correct.  I think he was going to tell me to drive through the red light but before he could say anymore, a cyclist rode up, pushed the pedestrian button, the light changed to green and I said to the man, thanks for the info but I must go now and away I drove.
A few days later I was driving by this intersection, but on the main road and I watched a car slowly driving a bit forward, a bit backward, then a bit forward then a bit backward, apparently trying to find that da*# sensor.  So, I wasn't the only one having trouble there.  I phoned the City.  My query was passed on and a few days later someone did phone me back.
YES, they did change the position of the sensor in the road.  Did I not notice that the "sign" was gone?  I said I couldn't remember if I did notice the absence of the sign or not, but still I followed the yellow lines on the road.  "Oh", he said, "we hoped that those line would have faded by now".
So, instead of covering over those lines, the city is just HOPING that they will FADE enough so no one will follow them.   The snow if now covering those lines, but regular/occasional users of this road KNOW the lines are there under the snow.  I expect there will continue to be long waits at that intersection.  Whatever happened to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".  It's not like the City has nothing else to do.
