Concrete pump in the fog this morning. I got a war of the worlds vibe. Like a giant leg in suburbia.

So where's the rest of the spider crab, and how big is it?

Hey I think I drove past that a couple of weeks ago! It looked like something out of some sci fi horror movie

Not that one, most concrete pumps look the same. I walked by again this morning, it's all gone, there's a fresh slab poured and they've absolutely annihilated the nature strips with heavy vehicles.

Oh, okay. I've never seen one of those before, but the houses looked similar which is why I thought I knew where it was.

That look is AV Jennings 1960s Suburbia. They're being replaced with rendered polystyrene McMansions.
