pothole

ON THE PHONE – There are a bunch of potholes in and around Richmond, so just watch out when you’re driving out there or whatever, Virginia Department of Transportation officials said today.

“Just like, either don’t drive on the highways, something something about how road crews can’t get to them all immediately so just hold your horses,” VDOT spokesperson Blake Somebody pretty much said in similar words, noting that, if you hit a pothole, there’s some recourse you can take by calling the people responsible for the repairs. 

We wrote that number down somewhere, on a slip of paper or something, but we just can’t find it right now.

Potholes commonly form when there’s been lots of cold temperatures, Wikipedia notes. There’s been a lot of snow the past few days, which you probably know already.  It may even still be snowing and icy out there this morning, causing more craters to appear in the road, so area drivers should probably be careful.

“I hit a pothole, my car’s damaged, whaa–whaa,” said the person we’ll call Jane Doe because we forgot to write her name and needed a local comment. Let’s just say she lives in the Fan, sure whatever, that makes sense.  Besides, who will ever really know?
