Pre-spring Uglies
So, this time of year is a crazy ugly time for this area of the world. The snow has just melted, and the dirt clumps from snow plows are still found on every lawn, and the ground is so wet that you leave footprints in the lawn.
These pre-spring uglies also bring about potholes. A specific road near me has claimed two hubcaps from my wonderfully reliable vehicle. The two remaining hubcaps are bound to go this year. The city has chosen to simply repair the potholes 5-10 times per year and not resurface the road for the last three years that it has been needed.
Anyways, this is my least favorite time of the year, weather-wise. Thankfully, the weather will soon turn less ugly, and flowers will arrive to pretty the place up a little.
