Oh my friend, come to New Orleans. Land of the perma-potholes.

I don’t have pictures of the average roads in town- or where I was this morning (Robstown) where half the width of the road is missing and the rest is potholes. When the local news station has photo contests for people to send in the worst pothole road of the week. But this is a road that was freshly re-paved (several times over the years) and had this one spot (as it has for years) reopen after the rain. And in went that jaunty traffic cone in the center of it (which happened with another pothole about ten feet up this road about two or three years ago). And then it was still there untouched a week later. And then we got rain. and then another week later and it’s still there and the cone is too. The pothole never truly disappears; the photo was more my amusement that this time they left the traffic cone in.
