I don't doubt that the truck driver was supposed to be spraying the roads. There is a lot of dust around this site as they are doing a massive amount of grading on both sides of that street. The timing is what was suspicious, as he turned on the water just as I veered around the back of his truck (to avoid hitting him). I really have no way of knowing whether he was lying to me or telling the truth, but he seemed sincere when we talked. I generally give people the benefit of the doubt, if they talk to me. In retrospect, the whole situation was rather humorous, but it sure didn't seem funny to me at the time.
