Well, hello there! You, long suffering readers who may ore may not have been eagerly awaiting another blog post. That or, you gave up long ago and totally forgot about this place. Either way, I apologize and uh, look! I have some content (finally)
There's so very many things in the world today that can tick ya' right off. Bloggers who never actually blog for example ... but also road work. Not just road work, because sure, the lane closures and various detours putting a damper on your commute sure are annoying. But Tucson is special when it comes to frustrating roads, and now frustrating road work.
There's no shortage of jokes regarding driving in Tucson.

There's NOTHING BUT POTHOLES and crappy roads, and then more potholes. Dylan and I will take a vacation and the very first thing we do is marvel at how glorious the roads are wherever else we are. It's so frustrating, all you really can do is make fun of it.
Here's a fabulous (if I do say so myself) artist's rendition of the roads around us.
By the looks of it, Greasewood's not so bad, eh? Maybe, just maybe, the City of Tucson would think to fix one of those really crappy roads around Greasewood. That would make sense...
Guess which road just got repaved?
Yeah. Greasewood. They decided to go ahead and repave GREASEWOOD.
I can't even. It's so beyond frustrating that it is now, in fact, comical. Because what else can you do but laugh?! And make memes ... Then, when you're through having your internet fit, and you've shared it with all of your friends, there's only one recourse left to follow.
That's right folks, I turned it all the way back around to Roseanne. All of life's questions can be answered by that show, I'm just saying. Even potholes. I can't control what my city government decides to and not to fix. I can control keeping calm and ordering a Pink Squirrel. Boom. Infallible logic.
Now, you may be asking yourself: What is a Pink Squirrel? It's a tasty little beverage,
and the cocktail of choice for Crystal Anderson from Roseanne.
You can see Crystal enjoying her's here:
That's all she wrote folks (really, take a month off and this is all you get ... it's sad!) But she's been taking pictures (Scouts honor) and will be back with a real blog soon. Honest. Just wait ... you'll see!
