Tuesday Tirade: Spring
If you live north of the 40th parallel in North America (I won’t speak of the rest of the world), you know that there is a phenomenon called the road hole, or in layman’s terms, an insurance company’s nightmare.
Road holes can range in size from small to friggin’ huge, and will often lie in wait under the cover of brown, murky water (the color of coffee with one creamer), for unsuspecting motorists who are driving to fast.
Sometimes they will work in tandem, with smaller, visible ones forcing drivers to veer into the camouflaged predators’ lair.
The growth rate of road holes can vary depending on the feasting frequency and the lack of municipal funding to fill these dangerous creatures, although scientists suspect road holes do enjoy a tasty treat of hot asphalt*
Now you know.
