I love Dave Barry. He is just a hoot. What's really scary is that everything he says is true. He has a great talent for bringing real-life ridiculousness home to roost.

Of course, here in Tennessee, the Governor keeps saying we have a budget crisis, but for some reason, the State has plenty of money to have every major thoroughfare in and out of town in a state of construction right now. I'm not kidding when I say that easily half to 3/4 of my commute is under construction and has been for awhile. For traffic reasons I take a different route home --- but now since THAT is under construction too, it doesn't make much difference which way I go. Harumph.

I am all for keeping the roads up - but all at the same time?
