Some more pictures

 Work connecting the new gas feed into the existing line was completed this week. On Tuesday workers were drilling the holes in the pipes to allow the old section of pipe to be bypassed.

The view from a different angle.

On Wednesday morning one could see the results of Tuesday's work.

Then it was time to cover it up. 

I do not understand the technology that is used to connect gas pipes without disrupting the flow of gas. Reflecting on this connection and the directional drilling used to install the pipes, I realized that there are probably millions of people who have contributed in some way to making life pleasant for us in the early 21st century. Much of the technology behind our affluence is invisible to us because it is used in production. We take for granted the gas that is used to heat our homes in the winter. There is a vast infrastructure needed to deliver the gas that we rarely think about. 

This week the parking lot at the recycling center is being reconstructed.

Site work for the new vet clinic on St. Gaspar Drive is underway.

I wanted to see what building is going on at Genova but could not see anything from the entrance. I did take a picture of the newest house in Blacker Village. It appears to be almost finished.

Rotary introduced the top 20 students from the Class of 2021 at its meeting this week and streamed that part of its meeting on Facebook. There were only 19 of the 20 present, eight males and eleven females. Top pick for a college was Purdue with seven, followed by IUPUI with five and Ball State with three. Other colleges mentioned were Butler, DePauw, Albion, and Northern Oklahoma College. Only two of those are out of state.

I saw on Facebook that Rose Acres is planning to close its Monon plant in June. It may reopen it in the future but has told the State that the layoffs should be considered permanent.

The Boys and Girls Club of White County will have to find a new home. They are currently using a building owned by the Twin Lakes School Corporation, but the Corporation wants to demolish the building and erect something else.

I do not see any frost in the forecast for the next nine days. Is it safe to start putting out tomatoes in the garden?
