“Potholes and bumps? Welcome to the world. Every road has them. They’re there to be navigated, avoided, driven over, or through to the other side. Don’t keep driving into the pothole.”

I tend to hit them because I’m not paying attention. But I always think, someone should fill those in, they’re like swimming pools out there.

Some do get pretty huge and need lots of attention. But the DOT does a sorry job at fixing them.

Oh, I know what you mean. The DOT hear only throws gravel and tar at them. They belly out within a week. That is why some of us started collecting and buying bags of cold asphalt for our neighborhood. It lasts really well.
