Forget Garbage Man I want to be a Mass Gardener...

When I was younger if you asked me what I wanted to be it was often a garbage man.  I liked the big trucks and I know I liked the idea of hanging on to the back of the truck as it drove around (as opposed to "just sitting around all day" like an engineer, yes that is a direct quote from a 5 yr old me).  In this day though when I see one guy going along and using a mechanical arm to pick up cans I think it's not that attractive anymore.  It's somewhat like playing a video game and there is no fun of hanging off of a truck.  However, with the "demise" of one dream job I have found another.  It didn't occur to me that with the lack of rainfall how would plants get water in public areas down here in Lima.  I know that big grassy areas probably have sprinklers, but what about the random trees and such that line a road.  The other night while going to dinner I was in a taxi stuck behind a big truck and I didn't know what it was doing, but I could hear a lot of water falling.  Finally I was able to see as it went around a turn...it was a giant water cannon truck, literally.  The truck was a big water tank and right at the top was a guy who stood in a little enclosure (so he wouldn't fall off) and he had a huge water cannon that he would water the trees and plants with.  I cannot tell you how excited I got at the idea of working one of those trucks.  I really would love to bring some little kids down here (definitely thinking about the Dogson) to show them this as I haven't seen it anywhere (for obvious reasons).  In Houston they had trucks that would drive around late at night and spray mosquito repellent or something, but that's not that exciting.  So my faith that little kids everywhere will have cool looking jobs to look up to has been restored.
