holland michigan

scrub.jpg

I found this mysterious postcard while looking for a nice image of a housekeeping scene, because that is all I did today, housekeeping. Has to be done, no way around it. Apparently this street scrubbing takes place in Michigan. I knew the Dutch are (were) known for scrubbing their sidewalks, but this is overdoing it. This is not the Dutch diaspora, these are Dutch in frigging orbit.

What is up with those brooms? You can't scrub a sidewalk with those. I call bullshit on this one.

Mijn buurvrouw beschreef me gisteren haar visie van hoe een nederlander eruit ziet, ze kwam tot deze klederdracht ???

I trust you wore an appropriate outfit like the ones in the postcard while doing the housekeeping. The little white hats are to die for.

Het lijkt wel een ijsbaan.

I bet they are just training for a good oldfashioned game of curling.
