... the street sweepers come out!
Seriously.
!!
I'd never even seen one of those street-sweeping machines until we set up shop in the village. And every spring, they come along, cleaning up all the dirt and gravel that accumulates over the winter.
Stupid question, but... are these common? Or am I one of a privileged few, to be in a village with "clean shoulders"?
Do they have street sweepers in your area?
