My season has started up again, and I’m out here driving along Alberta highways and secondary highways. Please remember, if you see flashing lights, slow the hell down! Enjoy the summer!
well hey friend...long time no see...lol i just finished up some paperwork for goods that i'm sending to your town 😊....come back here some more...and like @Lilymoon says go oilers....lol and that came from a divisional rival canucks fan 🤣....🤗
Stop checking out the guys along the side of the road. If I understand this right you're painting lines and some of them go from straight to squiggly. That's evidence of distraction at a specific location. He wasn't all that.
@Degbeme well it’s very smoky up in these parts, some places have been evacuated… But I’m fine. And as soon as anything changes for the worst, we’ll get out of here. We all want to make it home so we’re not gonna stay where it’s dangerous.
@Harmonium1923 thank you! Nice to see you again too… I’ll have to try and pop in here more often. I’m just so damn busy with work. We literally work 14 hours a day, at this hitch. I’m on right now is 24 days straight.
@samueltyler2 every story I could recite comes down to people being in such a hurry they ignore the flashing lights, the huge 8’ arrow boards all lit up, advising them to stay back and to wait….there has already been numerous times when our crash attenuator truck has been hit, and the offending driver just tears away, screaming at us and giving us the finger. One time, I swear to you this happened…the driver hit the crash truck, but that wasn’t enough. He then proceeded to back up and ram it again and again! 5 times in total!!! Today, I had a school bus driver, A SCHOOL BUS DRIVER, screaming at me through her open window because we were holding up traffic. Screaming. Swearing. And she had kids in her bus!!!!! I mean, come on….if we could paint the lines in ANY other way, we would!!! But we have to do it this way and yeah, sometimes that means people are going to be held up for a few minutes. Really, it’s just a matter of taking a breath and being patient. We all need the lines on the roads, don’t we? This is for the greater good hahaha
@ImpeccablyImperfect is this more so recently? I feel everyone is more tense and angry, drivers more aggressive. I am older and perhaps more sensitive. What does upset me is the timing of road repairs sometimes. It seems as if the timing could be better and decrease the effect on traffic. Also there is often lane closure miles before the actual construction. That is so frustrating. None of that makes what you report sane or justified.
