On my way to work each morning, I have the great pleasure of driving on one of the worst roads in Seattle: Airport Way. From Leary Way north, Airport Way might as well be a stage in the World Rally Championships, or the Baja 1000. It’s bad. And in the last month, it’s become noticably worse. It’s amazing how, within the course of just a few days, an insignificant dimple in the pavement can grow into a wheel-bending monster of a pothole.

The other day, nearing downtown, I passed a city utility truck with a special logo: Pothole Rangers. From the look of their logo, and the sound of their name, I laughed to myself. I imagined there were two super heros piloting that vehicle. And with all of the potholes plaguing our roads this winter, that’s exactly what we need.
