Taking the long way home
Taking the long way home
There is a section of road A352 in Godmanstone, England will be closed while construction crews work on a new sewage system. The workers will have about 65 feet of the road torn up. The city engineer divined a detour for this disruption. It is 41 miles long. The diversion will take you into another county before heading back into Dorset. “It’s just crazy and there doesn’t seem to be any logic to it,” said Heather Chapman, who runs a camping business near the closure. The detour is estimated to take an hour to complete. The council acknowledged that most residents will ignore the lengthy detour and use smaller side roads to get around the construction work. Your tax dollars at “work”?
I took a detour on the way home yesterday. Took me through 8 traffic circles,
but it got me where I was going, in a roundabout way.
Why is it, when you pass by road construction crews on the highway they are all men except the woman was holding up a sign that says: “Slow Men Working.”
Traveling on a state highway, my husband and I saw toll booth and entrance ramp being ripped up, concrete roadway and all. We asked an attendant is some new convenience was being installed for the travelers. “No way, you know this outfit,” she replied. “They lost a quarter.”
What do you call a traffic avoiding droid?
