Potholes

Potholes aren't usually a problem here in Matthews, North Carolina.

That's because we've been in a drought for years--there wasn't any moisture on the roads to cause any potholes.

Now, of course, we're caught in some crazy monsoon pattern and my simple suburban drive to the store is now a treacherous route embedded with potholes that seem to reach down to China. And somehow, I never realize they're there until I'm in one.

My first drafts are just as susceptible to potholes.
