| Last night, the news was talking about the "beautification" of Houston for the Superbowl; i.e. they're gonna fix potholes and put new bulbs in burnt out street lights. Which would be great if they meant they were gonna do it all over. But no, it will probably be only in about a two square mile radius downtown. And really--that's not where the main problems are. On a few streets around me, the potholes have ceased to be potholes and have graduated to underground lairs. There are sawhorse caution things around them so you don't drive into them because if you do, you're not getting out. And Houston doesn't fix potholes, it fills them with sand. Mayor Lee Brown is getting some sort of blowjob from the street fixer people because they don't do one fucking thing in this town aside from tear shit up.
And they're promising no traffic jams. I'd like to know what the return is on that. Like, "No traffic jams or you all get a free tab at X pub on X night." Because there's no chance of no traffic jams. You can't just wish away traffic. This is land of I10, the 59, the 45.... If there wasn't traffic on those freeways, the world would end.
