Highway construction??? Sheesh, lemme tell you about highway construction! Never, EVER go to Houston or Dallas unless you have been kidnapped by Islamic Fundamentalists and their holding one of those long curvy knives to your throat. On second thought, taking the knife might be better - whatever. Anyhow, construction in and around, at least those two places, is perpetual. New construction, or because there’s so much existing concrete, widening or repairing highways is something that never ends.
I am from Houston. I went to Boston. It was worse. Much worse.
