Go along any major highway around here for more than half an hour or so, and you're likely to see someone dressed in a blaze orange jumpsuit and a wide bamboo hat sweeping the side of the road (or possibly polishing the guardrails) with a big broom that looks like a dust mop on steroids. Sometimes, it looks like they actually are accomplishing something, and sometimes, it just looks like they are lifting a huge cloud of dust and simply moving it down the road a couple of yards. Not a job that I would enjoy, and another reminder of how soft my life has been to date compared with a large percentage of the world...
