I recently moved back to Illinois, and just can’t stand the roads. Everywhere I go, there is construction… if you can even call it that. Apparently, Illinois only repairs roads in random three-foot sections at a time. I know it’s not cheap, but why not just replace the whole damn lane? Year-after-year they’ll be out there, tearing up random three-foot sections of pavement. And year-after-year, the roads will continue to deteriorate, until the first three-foot sections are ready to replace.

It’s a viscous cycle. And my road-rage is nearing an all-time high…
