Had occasion to travel the crosstown today. I think my teeth are feeling a little loose. Concrete stretches are OK but the asphalt sections are seriously shitty. It seems like it's getting difficult to even good roads anymore. That's all for now...

yeah I had to drop off and pick up my parents from MSP, 494 North on the Eden Praire or so side really sucks with the buckled pavement. Hwy 169 just out of Elk River in the right lane is really bad.

The off ramp at 169 south and Old Shakopee. I think I may have pooped myself a little there. Felt like a Parkinson's patient on a jet ski. Glad I have 15" rims on right now.

lake street in south minneapolis, i bent the rim on my hyundai, not badly, but enough to screw up the lip and give the car a little shake. MNDOT sucks. I am glad on many days I dont have bigger rims than the stock 15's.

2 years ago I bent a wheel on 94 right before the 35W northbound interchange. Last week I got a sidewall bulge just past the Hwy 55 southbound ramp on 94. I'm seriously pissed off that our roads have gotten so bad. It used to be that Wisconsin roads were a hell of a lot worse than ours and now it's flipped.

and remember, the lawmakers want to build a new vikings stadium and renovate the target center, with roughly 500 million in tax dollars between them both; but the state is broke and can't afford to fix our roads, keep schools open, or police officers on the street to keep us safe(for the most part, sometimes we wish they would ignore us as we be haulin' ass)
