neighborhood decoy

For most of a year, we've had a major construction project on the north edge of town. Dozens and dozens of welders and pipefitters wending their way through town to get to their job site. Six-thirty in the morning, and five-thirty at night.

And hey, should we mention the men in coveralls lined up a dozen deep to cash their paychecks at the SUV with a hand-made "Checks Cashed" sign parked across the street from the bar every Friday evening?

Many of the workers have a hard time staying below our town's 15mph speed limit, especially when they're getting off work.

Steady business for the town's cops, especially where the main road passes the school.

So for the past couple months, a large portion of the workers have been avoiding the cop by the school and taking the more direct route to and from their workplace.

Our street.

Apparently we weren't the only ones to notice the fast, heavy traffic down our narrow lane. (Yes, we've especially worried about a blind heeler in our midst.)

Because yesterday we found this moved in across the street...

One of the town's spare cop cars.

Empty, of course.

But it isn't always empty.

Which is what makes the welders and plumbers all slow down.
