Of houses and foundations

I've taken to rising my bike to work again and had a little jolt thrown at me. I was riding home and as I approached the corner of Manassas Drive and whatever road that is that the Central Library is on, I noticed that it wasn't as shady as it was when I would go past it last year. I also didn't remember the huge concrete block sitting in the lot there. I looked a little harder and notice that the concrete block was somewhat house-shaped and surmised that it was the foundation of what used to be house. A moment later it hit me: There was a house there last summer! Someone tore down the house on the corner of the street! And, all the trees along with it!
I sat there for a moment in astonishment. Then the light changed and I crossed the street to the convenience store where I ordered a Gatoraid. I believe it was an orange Gatoraid. Gatoraid really is nice when you're hot and thirsty. I know I changed the subject but I really don't want to talk about the house anymore. God Bless.
