    You get that awful kind of sinking feeling that it's impossible to rise above....   It's a whole new experience you can't seen to get out of

    I spend my life weaving around the road to dodge the potholes. I've not been caught out badly (yet). Poorly marked speed bumps are another gripe.

    I'm going to archeology school to learn how to dig it out.

    I fell in love.  I’m not sure if it was her gravelly voice or her bottomless eyes, but I fell instantly head over heels with that gorgeous gal.  She was a philosopher and the words she spoke were quite deep.  Although I couldn’t fathom half of what she said, I was mesmerized by her bumps and craters.    Sure things were rough at first, but we were determined to make it work.

    Unfortunately, our dissimilarities were just too great and a gap formed between us.  as the gap widened, our relationship began to crumble.  She became more distant and I sank further and further into depression.  I should have seen the warning signs and got out, but I stayed; blind to the gravity of the situation.  Then one day she up and ran off with a truck driver.  I was crushed.  The hole she’d left in my heart was huge.  However, I eventually met someone new who helped fill in that hole.  Thankfully, that relationship has been a smooth one.

    I had to drive to a junk yard and get my tire moved over to another rim. Thumpety thump thumpety thump.

    Two flat tires on the passenger side and two bent rims.  City paid the bill.

    I hit a real good one downtown where I lived last year.  No time to avoid it.  Didn't damage my vehicle, thank heavens, but  it scared me.  Why don't they make a good asphalt that will expand and retract with the weather?  Surely the technology is out there.

    Probably because an asphalt that expand and retract with the weather would crack and buckle even more. sofar concrete blocks is the best solution, but you know how they go boink, boink, boink, for every edge you cross.

    Arizona doesn't usually have potholes, they have flash floods. If you go to Arizona and it rains, DO NOT ENTER FLOODED PLACES. It looks shallow, but it's usually not, and even if it is, the current can push your car off the road.
