Who Cares?

First off, whether it be the city or the county, I appreciate the response to my last blog about washboard roads near Cambridge. Now I know it's not likely that anyone actually read my blog about he washboard area, but I like to think that I facilitated the road grader smoothing the road.

Which kind brings me to today's blog...

Does anybody ever read this stuff or am I just rambling along wasting Internet bandwidth and computer storage space? I guess I'm surprised nobody has commented to any of the blogs on the Clarion web sight other than me, so I am now thinking that I am the only one spending any time here at all... true?

If you read this blog, how about making a comment that you read it... I could care less that you agree or not, but I don't want to continue to write a blog here if nobody is reading it either.

Thanks for your response!

Washboard

This time of year sure shows where the weak spots are in our highways and roads. Our recent trip to Omaha reminded me of how bad things can get. Omaha's streets are full of potholes, and big ones at that. A short drive around town and if there is much traffic around, you will find it impossible to miss all the potholes Omaha has to offer.

Cambridge streets seem to be in great shape, that is except for a couple blocks of gravel heading north of town on road 409 going past the west side of the golf course. I don't know if the county maintains that first 1/4 mile north of town heading to the dump or not, but with the snow, thawing, cold, thaw and heavy traffic, washboard is a mild description for the surface condition.

Though I dislike that 1/4 mile of washboard, I'll take it anyday over the crowded and pothole infested streets of Omaha! Getting out of the local area gives us a great reminder why we decided to settle here... washboard and all.
