Just kidding about the sand, but a “repaired” pothole up here lasts about an hour.
We pay nearly the highest road taxes in USA but they are full of potholes, some dating from the Paleolithic Era. Sand would be an improvement. Count yer blessings. (We just got one repaired. It took a year of a whole bunch of people to get it done. The “work crews” or their stuporvisors went out to “inspect it” or mostly just “appreciate it” at least 6 times “to evaluate what should be done with it.” (Like, man, how about FIXING it!? Its spelled T-A-R, ok?” Ha! Well, one down, 69,000,000,000 to go! Ha.
