Work works work!
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
Hi ho, hi ho.
Lobbed from my electronic ball and chain.
Off to work we go. I have the drive to centennial again today. Bleh
I made it to post today before the morning pile up on 190.
They're doing construction on the main road that leads to several gates of the post, including the main gate. I really like Texas, but if you put a bunch of people behind the wheel when they're still tired AND going through a construction zone you will get accidents. Seems that there has been an accident every day this week that included a multi-car pile up.... of course it happens at about 5AM when everyone is trying to get to work.
largest military post in the known galaxy, and of course they can't figure out the traffic patterns enough to make things work better.

NMDOT is replacing ALL road signs between where I live and a small mountain town 16 miles towards work. In several areas the road is 3 lanes (for passing purposes since its going up a mountain), yet for some reason, they feel it necessary to close TWO lanes and make it only a 1 lane road. In other words, they hold up traffic for 20-30min each direction and let everyone follow the pilot car at 5mph (because going 25mph is too fast when there is a lane between you and the 2 workers who are the only two working on the side of the road for the 5mi they have the road closed.
The construction will go on all summer. After which, they will start doing the signs from the small mountain town, to my observatory (another 16mi road).![]()

I do appreciate that they did a lot of work on 24 in the winter so it won't be a clogged up mess (hopefully) during the summer months. I mean, they didn't really have a choice because the work had to get done before it starts flooding again, but it's nice that they didn't totally bungle traffic during the busiest times of the year.
