a scene from this morning reminded me of an interesting incident i observed a few months ago.
peak traffic time one morning after a night of heavy rains - theres a major disruption because the rains have opened up a very big pothole blocking a full lane.
so there is this bulldozer going on its merry way when 2 policemen go up and have a word.
what they have done is requested the bulldozer guy to pick up some gravel from the roadside - dump it into the pothole and roll over it a few times. the bulldozer guy obliges and in 5 minutes we have a usable road.
surely no case of missing initiative there - imagine having to do this through the normal bureaucratic channels.
