New Streets

So if you've been reading for a while you might remember that when drivers say 'next time you talk to George Bush tell him....' and I usually respond with 'and next time you talk to OB tell him I want my street paved.'

Well apparently one of those drivers had some pull b/c last week they came and started paving my road. One day while I was sick the entire house started shaking but I just thought it was a malaria hallucination. Now that I am well I realize that it was just all the heavy equipment doing whatever it is they do.

Funny thing though, apparently our road was already paved. Who knew? They dug out about 20 inches of dirt out and, surprise, there was already a curb. A few more inches and they ran into pavement. Seems to me that, seeing as how the road was already paved, someone really dropped the ball there. I don't want to apply too much logic, but if we had just kept the paved road clean 10 years ago couldn't we not be paving it again now?
