It’s another reason to call in sick.

I don’t understand why potholes go weeks without being repaired. I understand that some pop up and some have to wait to be repaired, but it ridiculous how big some of them are without any attempt to at least patch them a bit until springtime.

The highway department patched one here a couple of weeks ago and it was back to its original size just a few days later. I'm so used to swerving around it that I'll probably do it after they fix it permanently.

Always makes me laugh how they usually say they can't fill them fast because of money issues. Like money issues has stopped them from spending on unnecessary **** before.

Actually saw on local news this morning they are filling some pot holes with sand bags. F*****g sand bags.

If you want to see potholes, take drive into downtown Louisville. It is like trying to drive around land mines.

Lost a tire to one last March and so far this year I'm pretty sure I've done some damage to my axels/struts.

The other day I hit one so bad my glasses flung off. The Northeast gets potholes bad with the constant snow/melting/itc, and this year we had considerable amounts of rain-turned-ice over night.

There a stretch on the inner loop of New Circle in Lexington between Leestown and Georgetown that is basically just a continuous pothole and has been that way for several weeks. North side always getting the shaft.

It made 41 News last night... And you are 100% correct about downtown L-ville... They were there before the rain and am sure it's lots worse now... Going to be the MF'n Pothole of biblical proportions down at 2nd&Main when the YUM Center goes belly-up....... We go'n get us a Pro ball team uh huh...yayuh.
That's a CYA attempt to get a dollar if I ever heard one.

I go to Milwaukee for work from time to time, the roads there are terrible. Potholes are one thing, but crumbled and uneven pavement, dips from sinking sections, driving down what should be a smooth straight road is like driving over an ancient cobblestone road with speed bumps. It’s terrible.

I had to get both tire rods replaced.

Tiprell is excited when they get a fresh load of gravel.


[laughing]

My GA Lady was.........mortified ..... at Tiprell

said she didn't realizes "places like that existed in the US"......


still.....I think she was excited to see the little dirty footed feral tots dodging and sprinting about the various derelict cars/tractors and detached campers......


I'll bet they can smell outsiders before they hit that little bridge area....
