This is a resubmission. I unsubmitted my first praxis after Harry Lee called me out for using one proof for two praxes. He's totally right, it was completely lame of me. So I've lost the 5 votes I had prior to unsubmission. In the spirit of true SF0 adventuring, I present to you the following.

You should read my praxis for Trespassing The Future first. If you already have, you know that there is a huge apartment complex undergoing erection right across the street from my apartment complex. You also know that it is the bane of my fucking existence. Construction all day, workers' trucks taking up all the daytime parking, huge vehicles blocking my little street and sometimes blocking my parking garage exit/entrance, dirt and debris everywhere, earsplitting noise. I trespassed into the future by skulking into the bare bones of the complex late last night. Today, I was much more daring.

Emboldened by my night visit to the empty and unguarded building site, and armed only with my phonecam, I decided that my trusty partner in crime and I would today venture into the construction worker's office lot and mini-building-site, at high noon, in bright sunlight, with workers lurking around every corner. I took a quick shot of my partner in crime before we started.



We snuck into the back area of the half-block lot undetected, and I began snapping photos of anything interesting that caught my eye. First up was a cement mixer tower that stood 20 feet tall, easily.




Ein was sniffing around by my ankles and he drew my attention to this neat little pile of safety gear: cones and blinky signs not in current use. Good job, partner! Way to earn those Milkbones.




I liked the look of this green container vat thing, so I was snapping a picture...when a construction worker shouted at me from across the lot. "Hey, you can't be in here!" This is why the picture is a little warped. I must have jumped a foot.




I waited about 5 minutes, lurking around the edges of the back entrance I had first come in, and then re-entered the lot. (I told you I was emboldened! Harry Lee had called me out! HARRY LEE. I had to get better proof so I could resubmit!) The guy who'd yelled at me was up in a huge machine, so I skulked down low, crouching and shuffling with mutt in tow, hiding behind stacks of lumber. Finally, I stood up and quickly got this shot of an unused SkyJack and a pile of lumber.




The guy in his big yellow machine started turning my way, so I ducked down again quickly and crouch-walked over to another spot. I got a picture of my hiding place: behind these barrels and piles of crap. You can see the big yellow machine in the distance.



Finally, he climbed out of the machine and went across the street to the erection site, so I decided that Fortune favors the bold, and I ran out to the middle of the lot (where anyone could see me) and got a close up picture of his yellow machine. It's apparently called a Zoom Boom. This pleases me greatly.




I am much more satisfied now. Last night, I thought that it was totally acceptable to double-submit the exact same proof for two different tasks if the shoe fit. I now understand that when tasks collaborate, it's because they are done in similar places, or at the same time. So I'm really happy now that I've regained my sense of SF0 pride in myself by unsubmitting and resubmitting this daytime daring adventure. Here's hoping this gets me more votes on both this praxis and my Trespassing the Future praxis. *raises a glass*

PS: Ein seemed to enjoy SF0-ing. I'll try to include him in future tasks. He sure is an asshole when you try to take his picture, though.
