Most of you that read this blog do not live in Stillwater. Right now, that is a good thing. I was leaving for work this morning and saw many concrete drainage pipes lined up. Guess what, more construction. That's not really all that bad, right? Construction means growth, and easier access. The problem lies with the fact that every major road in Stillwater is now under construction. Just to list a few; Hall of Fame, 6th & Jardot, 6th & Western, 19th & Western, 19th and Sangre, 19th Street between Sangre and Western, and 6th between Sangre and Western. It may not sound like a lot, but in my little world, that is every intersection and main road I use. As well as most of the people in my area of town. As an example, my parents live about 800 feet from my house. If I want to drive over to visit them, a 30 second trip has now turned into a 7 minute ordeal. I know, it could be worse, however when you factor in three or four 7 minute slow downs on the way to work, it adds up quickly. What used to take me 4 minutes to get from my house to my office now takes 18 minutes. I live two miles closer to work than I did last year and it takes me just as long to make the shorter trip. Progress is fine, but please, not all at once!
