Yesterday morning my wife came into our bedroom and tossed a two-way radio next to me and then left for her morning \u201cpower walk.\u201d The disturbance to my slumber was slight and I soon began to drift off into a state of semi-dozing. As my mind began to desert from reality, suddenly I was jolted from my slumbering daze by a tough yet feminine voice: \u201cBAMBI!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSending two your way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCopy that, Sabrina!\u201d<\/p>\n
These were voices speaking with crisp and clear tones – not of my wife, but instead road-crew traffic diverters doing their live talk-radio show from 152nd off of Kent-Kangley right into my two-way radio laying beside me in bed at 8 a.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cSending one at you!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCopy that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHold the traffic, there\u2019s a squirrel crossing the road.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCopy that!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHere comes another car.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCopy that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHold traffic – two city trucks coming your way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCopy that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBear is trying to get your attention. He\u2019s picked up one of the orange road cones and using it as a megaphone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, that guy is cool. He\u2019s like a kid inside…he\u2019s a story-teller. Sending two cars your way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCopy that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Needless to say, I was the silent-yet-entertained audience to this lively volley of effortless, joyful and precise directions from two of Kent\u2019s hardworking road-crew workers. It was a great way to wake up, better than an alarm clock.<\/p>\n
Hats off and a hearty clap of appreciation to Sabrina and Bambi for delivering a great on the job performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cCopy that!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
