Backhoes in Paradise

From: Alabama Department of Roadpeckers
To: The Little People... err, Taxpayers
Subject: Stadium Drive at Summerville Road

Dear Beloved Taxpayer,

As you are no doubt aware, our ongoing efforts to redesign the above mentioned intersection has met with some delays. Due to budgetary restraints, we can only man the field with half the normal amount of supervisors (35) and less than half the compliment of sign holders (164). This means that aside from the crew of 4 (four) who are actually doing the labor, we just don’t have the personnel to get this project completed any faster.

Please make sure to observe traffic conditions before driving. If you should be unfortunate enough to have to pass through our work area, it would probably be wise to pack enough food for three days and a change of clothes.

Sincerely,

The guy in the white pickup truck sipping iced tea.
