Now You See It

    As I drove through Schaghticoke late this afternoon in a blinding rainstorm, I saw all the idle construction equipment on Route 40 across from the first house we lived in back in 1968. Our upstairs apartment looked across the street to the last house on Main Street where it met with School Street. That house had been there for probably close to a century.Some time after we moved, that house was condemned, and demolished, because the bank was eroding.  There was no evidence of such to us, or most likely neither to the family who'd lived there.

   Not much is being said, at least not on the Community sites, about the presence of major construction entities now at work adjoining the site of the demolished house. Word seems to be that another house or houses may be in similar jeopardy. 

    But I had the thought today of rain gushing atop the roadways, that the very foundation of Route 40 may also be in danger of washing away. Thus the massive amounts of equipment and materials.
