So on my way to work today I saw one of those ARTIMIS signs on 71 northbound. It said<\/p>\n
Work Crew ahead
North of Rest Area
Expect Long Delays<\/p>\n
As I drove past I thought well isn't that one of the most worthless messages ever? The only rest area I can think of is the one right by the crossing of the Little Miami river about mile marker 40 (or about 25 miles north of the sign).<\/p>\n
So any regular commuting traffic will be off the highway by the time that they get there (and true to that thought I saw no delays during my trip, long or otherwise).<\/p>\n
And any travelers passing through, that might be affected by the so-called long delays, won't have any idea where the rest area is or when to expect delays!!<\/p>\n
I'd have replaced the whole 2nd line with something like Mile Marker 40. Then it becomes at least somewhat useful.<\/p>\n
As a side note, I have recently started taking advantage of blogger's "blog email" address – where you can send an email to a particular address and it just automatically blogs it for you. You don't have all the formatting options that you have in Blogger's GUI but I am finding it useful for quick, shorter posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
