I was travelling from NW Ohio to Columbus and back yesterday, passed a total of 6 of those signs and not a darn person out working.
First thing I thought of was, wonder how much those signs cost?
Well if you live in Ohio you should know that Ohioans just like the decorations. Something about that bright green, orange and the sight of barrels
in the morning... ah .. gets the blood flowing, ya know?
Seriously when Ohio issued it's ideas for it's state Quarter, the orange barrel was on of the ideas.
Having grown up off the I-70/I-75 corridor, I have lived under perpetual construction since I can remember.
I think I can count on my hands how many times i've actually seen someone working.
And my FAVORITE.. is when they close lanes and detour traffic and have a guy holding a sign that says "slow" and you drive past and the machines are
off, on the side of the road, and 5 men are sitting on the curb talking, drinking coffee, laughing. Or it's even better when the only guys even
there are the sign holders...
