As if it's not bad enough that my main route to town has been compromised with bridge work, and from there, all three routes to Sis-Town slowed by road work...
NOW the main intersection in Backroads is distracting drivers with work on the electric lines!
These intermittent lane closures thwart my path to the Gas Station Chicken Store, Country Mart, the Liquor Store, my pharmacy, the dead-mouse-smelling post office, and two routes to Sis-Town, home of Pony House, my bank, the main post office, and my credit union. Not to mention two Casey's, for gas and scratcher purposes.
Val does not like change. If she had it her way, she'd be pulled to town in a goat cart, holding a lantern if her trip had her out after dark. Communication would be by smoke signal or tin-can-and-twine telephone. Entertainment a heated game of mumblety-peg, and supper a Flintstone-esque rack of ribs, washed down with well water.
The times, they are a-nnoying!
13 cut-offs! However will you survive? I suppose there is hope they may all finish at once, on the same day and then you can be free-wheelin' again.
ReplyDeleteIt's even worse! Yesterday I read that work is starting on the road we take to the casino! Resurfacing, one-lane, expected from Oct 11-20. We don't have plans to go, but knowing the road will be a problem makes me want to!
