There’s a stretch of highway (I-435) that runs through Johnson County Kansas that is constantly being torn up and rebuilt but it is constantly in need of repair. It does have very heavy truck traffic. In some places the road is so bad it is a threat to safety. Many accidents in what we call the Olathe triangle.

After you’ve had the heat on low for a period of time you’ll be able to increase the cooking temperature almost to the point of boiling. The frog at this point will be too delirious to realize that the heat is increasing and will most likely not hop out of the pan.

This likely is due to the American standards for road building. In Germany, the autobahn specifications for the roadbeds is 70-centimeters bottom to top (with high quality material and construction techniques). American interstates and other major roads are less than half that in thickness and likely built with lower quality material and lax construction techniques.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. And sometimes it’s more expensive in the long run to go “cheap” in the short run.
