No More Dirt!

From Yahoo News:
"Roll up the pavement: Gravel is making a comeback"

This is the worst trend for those of us who live in the back woods of no where. I have to take mountain dirt roads to get to my house and there is nothing good about them. In the Summer and Fall they get muddy when it rains (this past Summer it rained for almost 2 months and part of the road was washed away.) In the Spring - during "Mud Season" there is mud everywhere (hence the name) and it is harder to drive. States, counties and towns should go back to paving the roads and stay away from the dirt. It is the 21st Century after all and money from the Government's Economic Recovery Plan should be used to pave these roads correctly.
