What Are You Doing Right Now

I've not seen one of these is almost 35 years:
It's a pavement heater - This is close to the one I saw and remember as a kid. They heated the asphalt up, raked it with 'fingers' to re-level and then would run over it with a packer.
This smoothed out the road and didn't require much else. They would go back and lay a new sealcoat - but that thing would eliminate pot holes quick.
They are still out there.. but maybe cost doesn't allow for them to be used.

Virginia is doing a trial of something new called in place paving it saves them money because they buy no new asphalt they break up the old stuff and put it right back down cold with out any heat. The problem though is these are really rough roads. It jerks you around because it's not very smooth.

Asphalt is great to drive on but consists of nasty nasty stuff!
Roads are all fine here as we don't see the deep freeze thaw cycles like y'all with real winter. One amusing thing is most of our roads are banked much more steeply than you see commonly elsewhere, so that the epic quantities of rain will wash down it and not leave a car breaking puddle of water.

Road smoothness is important to several factors. Road noise/tire noise, tire wear and shock wear.

Picked up a bunch (10 of them I think) of AeroHive AP's dirt cheap.

You'd love European roads. They are like silk.

Yep. Re-wrote my resume and change it from the bad advice of 1 page or less and it's now about 3 or 4 pages. Suddenly a lot more are calling me back.

Good to see a real world example of that actually working.

By the government? or by Netflix due to copyright restrictions?

Netflix isn't offered here. It detects your IP and won't play anything.
-
@scottalanmiller well that's
Very rude of them, a
Pernicious blocking of
Netflix is just uncouth. -
