The Paved Road

There was been some excitement around the hood lately. The road that runs in front of the school has been paved. Finally!  Crowds came out to watch and applaud as the paving crew paved first one side, then the other. As soon as the bitumen was laid, motor-cycles were trying it out and people were walking across it. The crew took it all in stride.
 The next morning it was still there , surprise surprise, and covered in sand.  I asked why and was told that the sun was so hot during the day, that  the paving would dry out unevenly, so they put sand on it to help reduce the heat build up?!?! Really? Oh well.
By the following afternoon,  it looked well used. But hopefully it will cut down on the dust and dirt.
