Vancouver has it's own Big Dig doing on right now, which may not exactly rival Boston's, but is nevertheless wreaking havoc on our city.
The Waterfront Station happens to be right outside my office - which means construction in a giant hole has been going on for many months outside my window. It's been one headache after another, especially when they bring out giant rock destroyers or massive vacuums to get the rain water out of the hole.
But I like the plus side, and that is that every morning I get to watch some Big Construction on my walk to the office. I told some girls at work that I'm such a boy because I like to take a pause to watch things like a back hoe dumping loads into a dump truck. They didn't understand that. Of course not.
I kid you not, every single morning, there is at least one male (and no females) taking a look over the edge at the men and machines in the hole.
This morning, there were two:
And it's not just "unprofessional" people either, one morning I saw one of the doctors/executives from my office down there taking a gander too.

DAMN those Tonka trucks we received at Christmas time as kids!
When passing by said big construction hole I am more intrigued (er.. nervous) about living near a major fault line and I envision half of Granville street sliding into the ditch when the big one comes. Sorry, I am forever damaged by all those made for TV disaster flicks my parents let me watch has a kid.
sorry, one more thing... hate to be cheeky BUT are there not a fair number of shoe shops near this large construction ditch? Possible explanation for lack of female construction gazers? Obvious I know, but I had to go there.
