Seen around town

1. A "Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission" vehicle was parked at the abandoned Red Rose Inn in Jennersville. The parking lot is well secured with a chain across the entrance, so I'm assuming the vehicle was there on some kind of official business.
2. Vehicles from Henkels & McCoy and Asplundh were doing maintenance work along the towers that carry the high-tension wires up from the Conowingo Dam through our area. Off one back road in West Marlborough, the workers had laid down a long pathway of wooden pallets to the electric company's right-of-way so that the heavy equipment wouldn't tear up the fields. (And a few days later I saw another pallet-road being built off Route 82, opposite Apple Grove Road.) Can you imagine working in a bucket on one of those sky-high cherry pickers? Shudder.
3. Along Route 82 through Unionville, residents had neatly stacked their downed tree limbs for pickup, with the trunk ends toward the curb, as instructed. It looked like a super-organized troop of beavers had made its way through town.
