Daily grind

The southbound lanes of I-35 in Clarke county, Iowa, are being ripped out and replaced. Impossible to stop and take a picture, of course, because the northbound lanes were two-way and packed. I found a video on youtube of a pavement grinder in action. The videographer had the same problem I did: Where do you stand to get your pictures? But the music is cool and you get the gist.

This video is up close and personal because it's provided by the Texas DOT.

The resurfacing of I-35 is, what, 15 years overdue, or is it 20? Anyway, thanks, taxpayers. Your stimulus money at work! Toll roads, anyone?
