Randomly Noted Song of the South

Damn roads!
This is my mantra each and every morning.
If I see ONE more freaking steel plate on West 10th Street on my way to work, I�m gonna flip.
I believe there are about 50 bajillion right now and you can bet that�s a cold, hard fact.
As the weather has gotten worse, so have the roads here in our dear city. Rather than repair them, however, metro Atlanta seems to prefer a half-ass approach of starting a repair project and then calling it a day by haphazardly throwing a hulking metal plate-thing over the gaping hole they�ve left in the road.
You�d think if Georgia was so intent on keeping massive amounts of cars on the road by not offering decent transportation alternatives like a rail line, the city could at least pretend to try to keep the roads in respectable shape, rather than shoddily patching them with large hunks of metal.
Love that little ditty my car makes when I go over them, though.
