Thinking about driving somewhere? Don't bother!

Since this is my first rant about garbage I will stick to something we will all find to be trash.

Please feast your eyes on exhibit A:

This impossible to comprehend picture is the official map of current road construction projects in Columbus Ohio...the important thing to note, there are 33 OF THEM!

This lovely map is found in the "2009 Glovebox Guide to Central Ohio Construction", a handy guide to stick in your glovebox and pull out anytime that you are stuck in traffic and looking for fresh reading material. You might also want to keep this guide on hand in case you ever want to remind yourself what pulling out your eyelashes with a pair of pliers feels like.

Today the construction work on High St which for you who are not from Columbus, is the main street on Ohio State's campus was so bad, that I stood on the sidewalk and watched a man pee into a Mcdonalds' cup, Golden Arches indeed. The more I thought about it I realized he was most likely on his way back from a lunch break cut so short by construction and traffic that he did not even have time to eat at Mcdonalds.

One more delightful piece of recent construction trash, imagine exiting the only open North/South highway to find a line of traffic on the exit ramp that did not move for 15 minutes. What would you imagine the delay to be? Broken traffic light? Accident? Flat tire maybe?.....WRONG





This delay was caused by O-Dot deciding to repaint the right turn arrow during morning rush hour traffic!




Fear not Buckeyes, if Brutus can be a fan of this construction, then we can all do it!
O-Dot, Penn-DOT and every state's DOT....ALL OF YOU...IS TRASH
