Road Cleanup: Sometimes haste hurts; patience pays off

Jon Halsey writes:
Ed, I live on a "chip and seal" county road and it's the last place I want to see a snowplow.

Several years ago a County Plow mistakenly came thru and what once was a smooth paved road became a jumbled mess of rock and dirt.

Our magistrate made sure that the plows wouldn't come this way again. - Jon Halsey, Knifley
Well said. : Sometimes leaving well enough alone, benign neglect beats doing something even if it's wrong.



Fact is, your approach suits my lifetime premise 'not to do anything which ought not be did" - like picking at a scab and setting the stage for gangrene and amputation, or going to a clinic with general malaise and getting the plague du jour during the long, cruel delay, enduring the torture of daytime television in a waiting room with all those contagious people. - EW
