Please Don't Keep Me Waiting

Despite two large trucks being filled with tree limbs and branches working on our block yesterday and two workers closing off the street except for local traffic, as of this writing, our yard and several more here on Norwood Avenue remain covered with several feet of tree limbs.
A neighbor and I laughed that there are only so many trucks and so much room in each truck (neither of our yards were cleared Thursday), but the laughs were a bit forced. On the other hand, I am not mad at the workers who have been working hard for weeks at this return-to-normal job.
But there's no sentiment to wax poetic over this, either.
