PM #2

Well spring has sprung, at least on some days. I titled this entry PM#2. For those who might not be familiar with the term PM, it would appear obvious that the road contractor does not, it means Preventive Management. The concept behind PM is to get things fixed before they go wrong. The "dahhhhh" factor is, get this: IT SAVES MONEY. Yes it does and guess who's money it is saving. Right again: yours and mine ... the tax payer.

I was travelling down Bells Lake road a couple of weeks ago. There were a lot of bare spots and of course there were spots with a fair depth of snow still on the road. Now it seems to me that if one was in the PM mode, there would have been a plow truck out there moving the snow of the road. It was soft as could be seen by the ruts and of course felt at night and early morning by the deep ice ruts. Now correct me if I'm wrong, if the snow had been taken off then the current mud holes that are there now might not be there and the road might be dry. With a dry road there is a remote possibility that there would be less pot holes. Get my drift.

In the same light, PM, it would seem to me to be logical, that if you filled some of those GROWING holes at the cattle guards they might be less dangerous then they are now. I wonder how long it will be before someone figures out how to fix cattle guards. Of all my travels, and I have been doing a lot lately, the cattle guards in the Horsefly area are hands down the worst.

Feel free to jump in with your story's ... I'm sure that they will be good ones.

Drive safely
