ABC Wednesday ..... N like Nimble



It did not take more than 30 seconds for the nimble driver of this huge truck to back it  into the yard of the small store down my street. He reminded me of  the firemen my son Cédric and I saw  driving their fire truck into their garage "en moins de temps qu'il ne faut pour le dire"! That was in Brooklyn, and the truck was much longer than the one in the photo.
 In a few months or weeks, this low-cost store will be pulled down and replaced by a 18-storey building!

  1. Haven't visited your blog for ages; good to "see" you again. Those big rigs must be difficult to drive!

    1. Thank you very much, Kate. I was not sure whether this was a rig (semi-remorque :-))) and anyway I had forgotten the English word for that :-))) Bonne journée, I will visit your blog again soon !

  2. I've always been impressed by those who can maneuver those big trucks in and about the cities!

    What was the matter with the constitution in 2005...was it accepted?

    Nice to see your blog back. Hope all is well!

    1. No, Lowell, it was not. But the president decided to alter the draft and impose the "newer" version without asking the people for their advice. :-)) Thank you for commenting. I have been very very tired for weeks because of a silly thing that makes a lot of noise night and day right above my head (My apartment is located right beneath the roof).

  8. We have a fire house down the block from us, and I stand amazed at how they back those huge fire trucks into such a small space.

  11. Bonjour Marie.
    18 étages ?!
    Je savais qu'ils allaient monter haut dans le réaménagement de ce coin de la Pompignane, mais je ne pensais pas qu'ils allaient dépasser les 9 étages... votre info est sur? ^^

    1. Mais oui, bien sûr, c'est moi l'intruse :-))) Il n'y a que des photos de politiciens mais je me suis incrustée devant la scène avant l'entrée des vrais artistes (avec ma tunique blanche et mes mocassins vernis, pfffffff) :-)
