After winter's heavy dose of freeze/thaw and road salt took its toll on the roads, it's out with the old and in with the new. The proliferation of potholes on our busy town street had one small benefit: pulling out of the driveway became easier, as drivers intimidated by a particularly dense clustering of potholes at Harrison and Hamilton slowed enough to create a nice gap in the traffic. Even a Humvee, which you'd think had been bought in part to dominate such rough terrain, was seen slowing to a crawl.
When the new asphalt was laid down, I knew my neighbor would be sleeping better. Even before this winter, he was frequently being awakened by the noise of trucks hitting the potholes in front of his house.
