WALKERTOWNÂ â Somme Psalm walked down his driveway Friday morning kicking up chunks of newly laid asphalt. He shook his head as pieces came up just from a flick of his shoe.
âIt shouldnât be coming up like this,â he said, his native New York clear in his accent. âI come out every day trying to smooth it down.â
A couple of guys heâd met by chance in the parking lot of a nearby gas station just put it down last week, he said.
âThe guy said, âHey I got some asphalt in my truck and weâre looking for a place to dump it, â Psalm said. â If you could use a little asphalt, we could give it to you and smooth it. Weâre not charging anything. I just want to dump it. â
