*%#@%!

There's only one thing worse than construction, that is, haphazard construction. The powers that be decided today just for the hell of it (allow me to be unreasonable) to block my one remaining direct route from home to work. Now, my quick route and even quicker route are marked by mounds of dirt and unpaved road, not exactly hospitable conditions for my 4-cylinder car.

So for now until god knows when, I must take an out of the way route which is inefficient, bothersome, and worst of all burns precious gas. Since the lovely folks at my City government decided to leave me such a wonderful present this Saturday afternoon, I would like to repay the favor.
