I couldn’t help but wonder what those trucks were doing on the new Memorial Bridge last week or so. I was hoping that by sticking people over the railing and working on the underside of the bridge, they’d finally get those fancy lights working on the pillars! No such luck: they were painting.

I’ve never been a big fan of heights when it comes to scaffolds, ladders, or bucket trucks. Sure, I’ll do it…but that doesn’t mean I like it. I hope these guys are more comfortable with the idea, because the boom on this truck goes all the way down!

This guy had some spectators, as three girls were enjoying a sunny day at the river right by where he was painting. I bet that was a pretty wild looking sight from the water level, a guy hanging from a truck on a big telescoping arm…painting. I found it pretty cool that the truck could do such a thing, and I was glad I wasn’t the guy on the end of that arm! The paint looks good. Now if they could just get those lights working…
