Just in time for pothole repair season. I expect Spring to take place for a week in May, sometime, maybe. It'll be great, for sure, this year. Not like last year, when we had Winter until Summer construction season. That wasn't right. Not right at all, damn sure.

A smart guy won't put away the shovels for a while yet, then.
