Potholes

I grew up in the northeast, and spring was pothole http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pothole season. But in West Texas, pothole season has more to do with an extended period of moisture, whether it is rain or snow. Well, over the last few weeks, we have had an extended period of rain, and with the rain, came the potholes. That is to be expected:  the ground swells with the moisture and buckles the top layer of the road, loosens it and makes it vulnerable to becoming a pothole.   Some places are worse than others.  Often, they are repaired quickly.  That is good.
