I sank into a pothole and ended up here

One of the car-driving questions my dad always asks me — besides whether I've changed my oil, rotated my tires or checked my wiper fluid — is the condition of the roads here. I never bothered paying attention to the state of the roads until he asked. But come to think about it, my grandpa always comments about that too. He always complains once the roads start to get the teeniest bit bumpy and worn. But wait, he complains about construction crews too.

Well, I can tell you that the roads in Santa Fe are by far the most pothole-ridden roads I've had the misfortune to drive on. That's a negative spin, I know. I'm trying harder: Someone should market the roads in Santa Fe as "modern cobblestone." It's not terribly unkept, it's part of the local character...
