The duplex across the street is complete but for the landscaping. Yesterday a City of Vancouver crew arrived to seal up the work that allows water to/sewage from the two homes (where before there was only one), An unseen someone drove the truck, another the roller it pulled on a trailer behind it. A third person, the most seasoned of the group, provided a friendly face to the neighbours. The fourth, the proverbial new kid, has been around long enough to know his role and, out of defiance, self-preservation or a little of both, performed as if in self-parody.
