Some workers for Labor Day

These days, the whole of San Francisco feels like a construction job site. No recession here, yet.
Much of this is at superhuman scale.

With increased traffic, overburdened streets need all the help they can get.

In the residential neighborhoods, there's plenty of sprucing up going on.

Many a residential foundation needs replacing which can be a pretty drastic enterprise. This is what I used to do in the 1980s; as I realized while chatting with a new acquaintance recently, homeowners end up with a ton of concrete, perhaps some reassurance about earthquakes, and nothing to show off to their friends.

Better reinforce that roof.

With all this activity, how could Amazon deliveries be far behind?

Meanwhile, some has got to guard the store, lackadaisically.

UPDATE: Here's a woman worker I encountered while walking today:

I'm taking a short break. Blogging will resume after Labor Day.
