We fix all of the potholes on our road. And more efficiently that 
"CalTrans" with its headquarter skyscrapers and $80,000/year pothole 
fillers do.

(BTW, we pay exorbitant property taxes partly to pay for local roads, 
yet most mountain roads are private. Why don't we get a rebate on our 
taxes? Because money taken by the Gaping Mouth is never returned.)
