Country Roads, take me home - no longer in Halifax!
The roads look like they were made by the retreating Polish army in World War II: wide swatches dug through the hills without notice or concern for the trees or historic stone walls, wide enough for two tanks abreast.
The roads are layered on top with a scree of slippery small stones, sand, and pebbles. They are unsafe for small cars to stop adequately; rather, they slide on that scree. No bicycling on that stuff!
The roads are great for lumber trucks and the town trucks only! Oh, and of course, the roads are great for the “Halifax Road Club” members, and their families, who receive funds for their membership in this exclusive club! Huge weekly payments, a budget that has quadrupled, and now nearly equals the school budget. While the school budget lost a position this year, the Road Club continues their excessive spending on “salaries” and trucks and equipment large enough for a small metropolis.
