WHO ?


© - Tom Hyland - 8/8/13


WHO is 'Minding the Store'?
Department of Transportation ...
At all Levels !

Seems like every GD road and street is Blocked!
Road Crews EVERYWHERE!
What a Mess!

Bad enough that all the 'Green Card' Sign Holders
Don't know how to COUNT !
STOP & SLOW don't know how to Alternate !

Instead of counting to maybe 15 or 20 cars,
Then Switching ... 20-25-30-35 cars,
Are allowed in one direction.

Meanwhile the opposing traffic Backs Up ...
All the way Back to the Traffic Signal Behind them!
Thus, Screwing up More Traffic!

Are the 'White Hats' in Charge ... IDIOTS?
Are the Directors at every level ... STUPID?
Could a 'Terrorist Plot' do More Damage?

GRID-LOCKS !!!
All Across America!
Especially during Morning and Evening 'Rush Hours'!

No matter which City or State you live in ...
Every Day - the Same Back-Ups - in the Same Places ...
On the Same Roads ... DUH ???


The Same Traffic Reports ...
by the Same Helicopter Pilots ...
Over, and Over, and Over ... Ad Infinitum !

Is Anybody in Washington, D.C. Listening?
Any of the 50 Governors Listening?
Any Transportation Secretaries Listening?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS FREAKING PICTURE ???

OH ... Yeah ... to add Insult to Injury ...
You finally get Past a Road Construction Delay ...
Go around a Bend ... and Some FOOL has a Tree-Trimming Crew!

DUH ?
Does the Right hand know what the Left hand is Doing?
Are all the 'Big Wheels' out on the Golf Course Somewhere?

WHO is 'Minding the Store'?
ANYONE ?
Is there a 'Mexican Plot' to DESTROY America ?

Where are the Leaders?
Where are the Supervisors?
Where are the Engineers?

Are they All ... High-School 'Drop-Outs' ?
Do They Comprende Ingles?
Am I 'ALL WET'?

Am I a 'Muy Stupido Gringo'?
Or ... are the 'Wet-Backs' In Charge?
Perhaps 'Montezuma's Revenge' ???

WHO ?
Does Anybody Else ... "Give a Damn" ?
WHO ? WHO ? WHO ?

(C) - TKH.

It's the chaotic world we live in I suppose. Great rant, Tom. Love and peace to you,

Definitely a Conspiracy. Our so called 'leaders' get big contributions from oil companies. The more Back-Ups created, the more gasoline is consumed - the richer they all become.

Good poetic gesture...

My evaluation

Media garbage = fake, smoke & mirrors!
Life outside the door you live = reality!

We simply cannot live life through a TV set but many do.

Peace be with you.........

I know how you feel, Tom...I am lucky that I don't see this problem because I live way out in the sticks and there are precious few road closures, but when I worked in like Philadelphia, cripes, everyday for weeks at a time & you know they CAN work at night...instead they pick rush hour to totally screw up traffic...feeling for you doesn't help as you are making money making deliveries and these hold ups make you less money...but you just gotta keep pluggin' along...lucky you have a nice comfortable car to cruise around in...e

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. There, now that I've said that I would say that it's just some infrastructure projects trying to put immigration reform to work. Those of us unemployed can just curse because we can't get the corner liquor store for our daily ration.

Who, who, who let the dogs out? Probably Mr. Ed––he's got lots of them. ;-)

As you said it's happening everywhere. The price of progress?
