In Saskatoon and, I expect, much of Canada, we are currently experiencing a phenomenon which I have yet to see documented so I am devoting an entire blog entry to….The Reverse Pothole.

We are slowly emerging from what is affectionately known as “Pothole Season” (better known as the Holy Season of Shock-Absorber Replacement) and we all curse and swear to high heaven about the stupid potholes.

Isn’t there a better way? Why, if they can make materials that can withstand trips through space and nuclear holocaust, can they not pave our streets with something that will last more than a summer?

As road construction crews are out in full force right now attempting to repair the sinkholes and ashphalt vomit that is strewn all over Saskatoon I have noticed we have fewer potholes and, to take their place, we now have REVERSE POTHOLES. This is where a pothole has (apparently) been repaired, leaving a brand new little bump instead of a hole. So now, instead of brain-rattling bumps rin and out of potholes we have only slightly less annoying and jarring adventures over pavement that rivals Olympic Moguls. I don’t want to complain…but…well…yes, I do want to complain. I say again…there MUST BE A BETTER WAY!!!
