here's something to add to the list of things to love about durham: the fantastically gorgeous, newly-completed brick wall at the end of my street!
you can still see a couple of workers in this photo; i think they're putting on the finishing touches. next step: the DOT says they're going to plant trees and shrubs along the wall. i understand there may also be a walking path. i'll be patient when it comes to this stuff. at least i don't have to look at semis anymore.
woo!!!!
It looks great. I bet it's much quieter too. :)

with my new windows, though, it's super-duper-quiet indoors. you'd never know there's an interstate 100 yards away. outside, though, it's still apparent... just not as glaringly apparent as before.
