Taking the Long Way Home

After the Great Pothole Incident of '09, I've decided to find my way home by a different route. The normal way home has becoming a landmine filled path of sorrow.

The new way home is the back roads of Madison. The roads give me many scenic options as well as opportunities to honk at less than stellar drivers if I am having a bad day. While the drive might take a slight amount longer, my car will be injury free and I have more time to listen to my books on tape. Depending on how the commute goes, I might have to renew my audible account and get some more books on tape.

My general advice for you, avoid University Avenue west of campus. Yes, it is that bad. Try out a new route in the back roads and see some new parts of Madison you might be missing.
