Deconstructing Construction

I have had a theory for quite some time…

If you want to know where the State of Illinois will be doing construction, just ask which route I take to get to/ from work each day.

For as long as I have been driving in Illinois, EVERY single route has contained construction… from Wacker Drive, IL-209, IL-294 and now an EXPANDED section of IL-294. The expected completion date of the current "project" is 2009… that really means 2011. Hopefully I will have a different commute by then… but that just means that another portion of Illinois roads will be under construction… or destruction as the case may be.

Take a look at my windshield… I have 1 HUGE crack, 2 small cracks and 6 divots. That’s insane! I was going to get my windshield fixed, but every time I make that decision another rock hurled from a truck assaults it.

The joke that was my theory has now evolved into a plausible concept. I hate it when that happens.
