Stupid Construction Zones

( Details of a really obnoxious construction zone for a really tiny worksite in cut )

Now, I can understand that they're concerned about the safety of construction workers, and I don't have a problem with being asked to slow down at a time and place where there actually are workers. I do have a big problem with being asked to slow down because somewhere several miles ahead there were workers 2 hours ago before they knocked off for the day. Telling people to slow down serves both to annoy them, which will make them less cooperative and less safe, and to train them that they don't need to pay attention to those orange signs because there's probably nothing there anyway.

Joys of spellcheckers

I ran my previous post through LJ's spellchecker, and it didn't like "buttheads". It had many suggestions for what I might have meant.

Including "birthdays".

For some reason, that struck me as sufficiently funny that I had to post this.
