a workday on duval

So why, I had to ask myself, was this seemingly disguised guy with the Keys Energy truck spray painting the shell of a traffic light on the corner of Eaton and Duval. . .
Key West does, after all, have a Public Works Department whose "mission" is to maintain the health, safety, and beautification of our community and has a "vision" of the efficient operation and maintenance of the city's cemetery, facilities, streets and sidewalks. (it's on the city's website, you can look it up)

hmmm, i thought. . .
Maybe Public Works ran out of trucks with cherry pickers and borrowed a couple from the electric company. Maybe there's a notorious notable coming to town this weekend and in a effort to spiff up the town in time, Keys Energy and Public Works are working together to get it done. Or maybe there's something more nefarious going on; like a deceptive deal between the city and the utility company, grandfathered in to tax the already overburdened ho-moaners out of just a few more bucks, enough to pay off the city's debt to the Ducks.

Or maybe, just maybe, I've been spending too much time reading the "Blue Paper". . .
