What's Up? Pot Holes!
It wasn't that many years ago when road repair was necessary and patches were made to the pot holes and cracks, you wouldn't feel the patches when you drove over them. You could see them, but not feel them.
Not so today. Now days when pavement is patched or repaired they make the bump go the other way. Yeah, instead of the bump going down, it goes up. Pot hole turns into a pot hump. On a popular road in our area (Burnside Drive), patchwork was completed yesterday. Previously there were several large holes to avoid. Now the entire kilometre stretch is like driving on a washboard road.
Did we retire all our experience? Did they take off? Or is that the snow crew's summertime job?
