Potholes

As I was driving today I was thinking about what I wanted my post to be about this week. Well after hitting a few potholes in the road, I came home to a news hit on WBAL about the pothole problems in Maryland.
Hitting these potholes can do so much damage to your car, whether you hit it straight on or just nick it. It could possibly effect your alignment to your car, tire damage, wheel rims, and etc. I know I have nicked a few. It is hard going 55 miles-per-hour and seeing a pothole and trying to avoid it, especially when other cars are around.

According to the WBAL article, city transportation officials said March is typically the busiest month for pothole repairs. I am sure it is the busiest month. After all the bad weather we tend to get closer to March, it causes some damage to the roads. 
My mother and I were out today and we saw crews working on some of the roads today to repair the potholes. According to WBAL, there have been 21,000 pothole repairs so far this winter. These repairs took up to 12 crews specifically to fix them.

  1. Good idea for a post. Try adding a few more inks to your posts. Looks likeyou have one in each; but try to expand a bit.
