Of course, by telling us it is intentionally blank, it is no longer blank, and that is intentional. So if it is intentionally not blank, then they don't need to tell us anything about it. Where did you fit into this equation, Amos?

BWL, I've had the same thought about those cones. Tripping hazard if ever I saw one.

The noise has been hellacious, Jenny. Gawdawful chippers going until way after dark and seven days a week. The neighborhood is crawling with these trucks and crews. The only spot of malicious delight was this afternoon, when conferring at the curb with two neighbors, we were pleased to learn that the old fart up the street who murders dozens of squirrels each year because they dare steal his prized backyard pecans will have huge chunks of those pecans cut out tomorrow. They're in the power lines (and have put out the lights before). :)
