As I sit here at my computer today the sky is gray, cloudy, and the wind is making the screens in my windows rattle. We are supposed to be having a spring storm sometime this evening. Sure hope it doesn’t wash away all of the fine work my Township Trustees completed this week on the Bumpy Road. Past spring/summer/fall storms started digging a huge ditch between the road and my driveway. Someone was telling us there needed to be a culvert placed there because every time it rained it was washing huge ruts in the township road as the water poured down the hill. Part of the digging was taken care of by the elements. Mike and his trusty backhoe took care of the rest. Not only is this fix taking care of the township highway, it’s taking care of a big bump, and I still find myself slowing down before I reach that part of the Bumpy Road. For a while anyway :-) Thanks, Fellows! My mail person is also very grateful that the road is fixed. She has really had to deal with a huge dip every time she puts something in my mailbox. I’m sure the repair will hold nicely when tested by the next strong spring storm this week.

Years ago, my brother worked in an auto body shop. The owner kept a sign in his office that read, “You can’t have it fast and good and cheap.”
